What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Governor Mikie Sherrill warned New Jersey port and terminal operators that importing Russian diesel would violate federal law and could result in civil and criminal penalties. This opposition comes as a tanker carrying Russian diesel, which the Kremlin stated would carry 40,000 tons, headed toward the Port of New York and New Jersey. Sherrill stated she was evaluating options to prevent the shipment from docking in New Jersey.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The dispute centers on the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022, which bans all Russian energy products from the United States. Sherrill's actions challenge a diesel supply deal announced by Donald Trump with Russia.
