On October 10, 2026, Russia announced the early lifting of diesel export restrictions after a call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, allowing additional fuel volumes to reach the US market. However, on November 1, 2026, Russia extended its diesel export ban through January 2027, with some exemptions under the deal with Trump.
