- U.S. Department of Treasury announced it is lifting sanctions on the sale of Russian diesel in global markets.
- Donald Trump spoke by phone with Vladimir Putin, with the Treasury's announcement coming minutes after the call, during which the two leaders struck a deal to supply diesel to American and global markets.
Why it matters: Russian diesel is restored to U.S. and global markets via a Treasury action sequenced within minutes of a Trump-Putin phone call and a bilateral diesel supply deal, tying the sanctions relief to a specific trade agreement struck between the two leaders rather than a standalone policy reversal.
