Tanker carrying Russian diesel reportedly heads for New York after Putin-Trump deal

Reuters, via The Straits Times, reports ship-tracking data shows a tanker carrying 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel toward New York. Loaded at Primorsk on October 22, it is expected to arrive in the US on November 7. The cargo would be the first US import of Russian oil or petroleum products since a 2022 ban. The shipment follows a Putin-Trump agreement under which Russia lifted its self-imposed diesel export ban.
