Greenpeace has identified seven tankers carrying
approximately 288,000 metric tons of Russian
diesel fuel to the United States, being delivered under an agreement
between President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the organization
announced on Oct. 29.
I couldn’t read the article due to a “Become a Patron” popup tgat wouldn’t go away. I was trying to figure how much oil it was and then comparing it to how much diesel the US uses on a daily basis.
Yeah. I don’t bother reading articles anymore. They’re almost all paywalled.
My understanding is that any amount that could be shipped from what Russia isn’t keeping for domestic use won’t be enough to budge the price at the pumps in the USA in the immediate future.
It’s more of a political move to get votes.
Absolutely no expert knowledge on my end, just what I’ve been seeing and reading.
I saw 1 article claim that the Russian diesel is actually Iranian. I could be bamboozled. But it would be great if journalists asked for verification where this diesel is coming from.
That’s absolutely true. The amount they talked about was like 16 hours supply I believe.
Also it’s illegal to import into the US and Trump can’t change it by EO. It’s still sanctioned by Congress.
it makes sound bites for faux news though, thats the important part.
