Dealings with Russian diesel could result in lawsuits and congressional investigations for US banks. Democrats have demanded that the largest US banks and port authorities preserve documents and correspondence about Russian diesel imports.

The lawmakers believe that the agreement may violate the ban on the import of Russian petroleum products that was introduced in 2022.
