## Key points

- Trump says US-Russia business could grow after the Ukraine war.
- A Russian diesel tanker is bound for New York.
- The shipment is about 7% of daily US diesel use.

## Summary

Donald Trump said the United States could expand business with Russia after the war in Ukraine ends, while a tanker carrying Russian diesel is heading to New York under a new agreement with Moscow. The arrangement marks a shift in US policy and has drawn criticism from Ukrainian officials, who say Russian fuel sales could help finance the Kremlin’s war.

The tanker is carrying about 40,000 tonnes of diesel, or roughly 300,000 barrels, and is expected to arrive on 7 November. It would be the first Russian diesel shipment to the US since July 2023, but represents only about 7% of the 4 million barrels of diesel consumed there each day. Trump also said a US-Ukraine natural resources agreement could be worth up to $1 trillion.
