What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The US Treasury issued General License 135 on October 9, 2026, authorizing transactions involving Russian-origin diesel until April 7, 2027. Following this, a tanker transporting roughly 40,000 tonnes of ultra-low-sulfur diesel was en route from the Baltic port of Primorsk to Morocco.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The license changes the economic calculus for countries that previously kept energy ties with Moscow opaque to preserve relations with the US and the European Union. This move may simplify logistics and affect the steep discount at which Russian diesel traded due to sanctions-related risks.

Agreements between Morocco and entities in Beijing have strengthened their strategic partnership and trade ties, as China continues to strengthen strategic partnerships focused on trade and investment.
