Trump’s stillborn diesel deal: Why Russian oil tankers are not heading to the US
- The Agioi Fanendes, an oil tanker loaded with 40,000 metric tons of diesel, represents US President Donald Trump’s last chance to see his controversial diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin come to fruition.
- The deal was reached last month, ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, amid soaring fuel prices and a cost of living crisis in the US.
- It failed to prevent a thumping in the polls for the Republicans, with a “blue wave” carrying Democrats to a landslide victory across the country.
