According to him, the story with the diesel "for Donald's friend" currently looks very interesting. "No one in the U.S. wants to buy this diesel right now. Donald didn't buy it; he gave permission for its delivery. 'Rashka' happily sent the tanker on its way, while so far no American company has dared to purchase this diesel," said Diky. He noted that this shipment from Russia, in the volume consumed by the American market, represents an "absolutely ridiculous" amount that will not affect anything. According to him, it concerns half of the daily diesel fuel consumption in the American market. He also reminded that the U.S. is an exporter, not an importer of diesel fuel. "So the market value of this diesel fuel is quite questionable, while its political toxicity is absolutely undeniable," said Diky. He stated that American corporations live in the real world and see what the sociological situation is like and what results are expected in the U.S. elections. "Therefore, they ask the question: 'Why do we need this Russian happiness, these three drops of Putin's diesel, from which we won't be able to wash our hands free of sludge?'" he added. According to him, tankers with Russian diesel are "drifting" in the ocean and are not docking anywhere because no company has yet signed a contract to purchase this diesel. ## ## Russian Diesel - Latest News As reported by UNIAN, The Washington Sun stated that officials in the Trump administration are privately encouraging American companies to accept Russian diesel, despite warnings that this could expose them to serious legal threats and damage their reputation. The publication reported that at least three vessels with Russian fuel headed to the U.S. in mid-October in response to President Donald Trump's October 16 directive to lift sanctions on Russian diesel fuel. They are expected to arrive next week after the midterm elections. However, the publication notes that it is still unclear where exactly this fuel is headed. As stated in the article, American companies are unwilling to take on the risks associated with purchasing diesel fuel from Russia.
