US President Donald Trump said he agreed with Vladimir Putin that Russia will release diesel onto world markets, starting with 300,000 tonnes now, then 500,000 in November and a further million later. Trump claimed prices would fall fast. The US Treasury issued a temporary licence for Russian diesel soon after. Putin's envoy welcomed the energy co-operation. US diesel has doubled since the Iran war began.
