Putin's diesel was lost on the way to America; The tankers changed the route The Financial Times reported that Trump's attempt to import Russian diesel fuel to the United States ran into problems. The story began when two oil tankers carrying Russian fuel changed course due to concerns about sanctions and reluctance from American buyers. The third oil tanker is still on its way to New York, but it may change course midway. According to this newspaper, the concern of American companies about the consequences of the embargo was the main obstacle to the arrival of these shipments. Now it is not clear if the Russian diesel shipments will end up in America or if they will have to look for another customer.
