Question: How much diesel will Russia supply under the deal President Trump announced on October 9, 2026?
Answer: Trump said Russia will supply more than 4 million tons of diesel to the global market. That begins with more than 300,000 tons immediately, then 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons after that, with another 3 million tons depending on the condition of Russia’s refineries. The U.S. Treasury issued a general license temporarily waiving sanctions on Russian diesel through April 2027.
