The State Duma Committee on Energy called the publications about a possible collapse of the diesel deal "nonsense". According to Deputy Igor Ananskych, there is a decree from Trump, and it must be implemented. The newspaper "Financial Times" wrote about problems with the supply of fuel from Russia. According to the publication, two diesel tankers that left Russia for the United States changed course: one headed for the Mediterranean Sea, the other for Brazil. The reasons given are the results of the mid-term elections in the United States and the threats of New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill to port companies for accepting tankers with Russian diesel. According to her, businesses could "face millions in fines long after Trump leaves office." A member of the State Duma Committee on Energy, Igor Annanskich, in a conversation with the Podem publication, stated that he sees no reason for the failure of the diesel deal. "I don't see any reason. It is complete nonsense to impose sanctions retroactively. There is a presidential order that protects businesses. There will be another president, there will be another decree - that's another story. Therefore, it seems to me that all this is slander. Today there is only one leader." According to the FT, at least four diesel tankers left Russia for the United States. One of them is still on its way to New York, but it doesn't actually have a port of discharge. The fate of another ship loaded in Primorsk is also unknown.
