U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 9th (local time) that he had reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply large quantities of Russian diesel fuel to the United States and global markets.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said, "I just concluded a very successful discussion with President Putin." He added, "We agreed that Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons shortly thereafter."

He went on to say, "Russia will then supply an additional 3 million tons of diesel fuel within a short period, taking into account the state of its domestic diesel refineries." The total volume of Russian diesel fuel Trump said would be supplied amounts to 4.8 million tons.

He also claimed that U.S. control of the Strait of Hormuz and the supply of Russian energy would cause global diesel prices to fall rapidly.
