@Kasparov63 The U.S. consumes the equivalent of ~14 giant tankers of diesel *PER DAY*.
3 tankers of diesel will be gone in ~5 hours and 30 minutes.
The impact 5 hours 30 minutes worth of diesel will have on the price of diesel in the U.S. is Zero. Not one cent of difference.

If you told me two years ago that the US President would pressure American companies to buy fuel it doesn’t need from a Russian terrorist state still waging war in Europe, I would have said, so Trump gets reelected? What a humiliation.
@anna_c_kramer@jstein_sun Importing Russian petroleum products remains subject to U.S. congressional bans under the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act of 2022.

The White House has failed to find buyers for the russian blood-diesel and the official destination of the ships has been changed to “waiting for orders”.
2 of the 3 ships are under western sanctions.

The Trump administration apparently failed to consider that importing Russian oil is prohibited under US law.
Of course nobody knew. Did anyone seriously expect the world’s stupidest circus to understand the laws of the country it supposedly governs? These people struggle with basic concepts.
