Donald Trump secured a deal to import Russian diesel into U.S. and global markets, which involves relaxing sanctions. The agreement calls for 300,000 tons of diesel initially, followed by 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons thereafter. This deal occurs as Congress pushes to increase economic pressure on Moscow and introduce bipartisan legislation targeting Russian oil purchases.
