Russia will send its first tanker of diesel fuel to the United States on Thursday, Russia\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters amid a deal with US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The vessel will have 40,000 tonnes of fuel, but Novak, who made his remarks on Wednesday, did not name which US port the fuel would be delivered to.<\/p>\n

Russia lifted its ban on diesel exports on October 9, which Moscow originally put in place to tackle the country\u2019s shortages as Ukrainian-led drone strikes<\/a> hindered production capacity.<\/p>\n

The shipment comes despite setbacks for Russia\u2019s diesel output. Earlier this month, Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Defence said that drone strikes knocked out at least half of Russia\u2019s oil refining capacity, forcing cuts at Russia\u2019s top diesel-producing refineries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditional shipments will follow, of course. There were agreements reached between the two leaders. We will meet the United States\u2019 needs, to the extent of our capabilities,\u201d the RIA Novosti news agency quoted Novak as saying.<\/p>\n

That was echoed by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, who has been meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks in St Petersburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are preparing deliveries of several vessels, the tankers, right now. They will go one after another. The financial component should be provided,\u201d he said, adding that Russia would also be able to supply fertilisers in \u201clarge quantities\u201d to the US market.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump had previously said that Moscow would export 300,000 tonnes, or 2.25 million barrels, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and 1 million tonnes \u201cimmediately thereafter\u201d.<\/p>\n

US consumers have continued to face high prices at the petrol station, particularly for diesel fuel, a pressing point as the country heads into midterm elections in less than two weeks. The average price for a gallon of diesel is $6.31 ($1.70 per litre), according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). While prices remain well over the $6 mark, they are on the downturn. The average price a month ago was $6.51.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
