Authorities in New Jersey have threatened ports with millions in fines for receiving diesel fuel from Russia Governor Mikey Sherrill has sent official warning letters to the 12 companies that operate the terminals. They say sanctions could be imposed on violators long after US President Donald Trump leaves office, the New York Times writes. The head of the region stressed that any attempt to make money on supplies from Russia will be strictly suppressed. Experts point out that this position of the governor leads to a direct conflict between the state authorities and the administration of the American leader.
