BREAKING: Russia declares it is ready to supply unlimited diesel to the United States under Trump's deal with Putin.
"As much as our partners want, frankly, from the volume that we will supply for export. We can supply everything," Deputy Prime Minister Novak says.
The first 3 tankers are already crossing the Atlantic. Each carries 300,000 barrels of ultra-low-sulfur diesel, loaded at Primorsk on October 22 and due in New York around November 7.
That is 900,000 barrels, just 5 hours of American diesel use.
