Three Russian diesel tankers are expected to arrive in the United States in early November, raising legal compliance concerns.
--
Three oil tankers carrying approximately 140,000 tons of Russian diesel are expected to arrive in the United States between November 7 and 11. This import is based on a sanctions waiver agreed upon by US President Trump and Russian President Putin on October 9. The Leruo tanker is already on the sanctions lists of the UK, EU, and Canada. US senators have sent letters to the relevant companies, warning of the risk of legal action and congressional investigations. If the first tanker unloads its cargo, it will be the first shipment of Russian diesel to arrive in the US since July 2023.
