A month after President Donald Trump announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to bring Russian diesel to the U.S., no tankers have arrived, as they turned around due to a lack of willing buyers. U.S. oil companies are reluctant to handle the cargoes of Russian diesel because of the potential legal and reputational consequences. The Agioi Fanendes, a tanker carrying 300,000 barrels of Russian diesel and originally bound for New York, slowed off the East Coast and started loitering in a zigzag pattern. The ship-tracking service Kpler now lists South America as its likely destination, and the ship’s manager told the Journal its “discharging port is not confirmed yet.”
