Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban to 2027 With Trump Carve-Out
The Russian government has extended its commercial diesel export ban through January 2027 while introducing exemptions for designated suppliers under a deal struck with US President Donald Trump. Moscow plans to export approximately 2.15 million metric tons of diesel in November, up from 510,000 tons in October. Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak acknowledged that four loaded tankers recently departed Baltic ports for Turkey and Brazil, but conceded that Ukrainian drone strikes could affect volumes.
