Putin Announces Russian Diesel and Fertiliser Supply Plans for US | Times Now World

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced preparations to ship diesel fuel to the United States, saying the first tanker carrying 40,000 tonnes could depart within two to three days, with further shipments planned. Putin said global diesel prices fell by 5–6% following announcements about supplies to the US. He also said Moscow could provide large quantities of fertilisers to American markets, citing concerns raised by US President Donald Trump about the needs of American farmers during their phone conversations. The proposed supplies highlight a potential area of energy and agricultural trade between Washington and Moscow amid wider geopolitical tensions. The shipment timeline and commercial arrangements remain subject to the necessary financial arrangements.
