US allows Russian diesel sales until April 2027 after Trump-Putin call

The US government on Friday allowed the sale of Russian diesel again, lifting its ban until April 2027.
It followed a call between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure diesel supplies.
Trump said Russia will send over 3,00,000 tonnes immediately, with millions of tonnes to follow later.
He faces pressure to cut fuel prices before November elections, as global diesel costs have surged.
