Trump: Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel to US, global markets immediately

US President Donald Trump announced that he held a "highly successful conversation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, resulting in an agreement to supply large quantities of diesel fuel to the United States and global markets in the coming period.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, with volumes set to rise to 500,000 tons in November, followed by an additional one million tons, and a further three million tons in a short period, depending on the readiness of Russian refineries.

He added that the increase in diesel supplies, along with what he described as full American control over the Strait of Hormuz, would lead to a significant, rapid, and record-breaking drop in fuel prices in the United States and global markets.

Trump stressed that lowering prices is a priority for him, especially for the benefit of farmers, livestock breeders, and truck drivers.
