A tanker carrying about 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel reversed course roughly 400 nautical miles off New York. Since US President Donald Trump struck a diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Oct. 9, no Russian diesel cargo has reached the US. Doubts over Russia’s export capacity are also growing.
