Trump announced that Russia will deliver more than 300,000 tons of diesel “immediately,” and the trade is exempt from sanctions

The US president said on Truth Social that he spoke with Putin. Diesel futures fell 4.5% in New York, but there are no verified deliveries.

On Friday, October 9, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that, after speaking with Vladimir Putin, Russia would immediately deliver more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the United States and the world market, according to Yahoo Noticias, El Español, Portafolio, Xataka and El Economista. He also spoke of 500,000 tons in November and one million immediately afterward, about 1.8 million in total, and of up to three million more subject to the state of Russian refineries.

Portafolio reports that the US sanctions office (OFAC) issued a temporary general license exempting trade in Russian diesel from sanctions until April 2027. Diesel futures in New York fell 4.5%. Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the deal as a “gift to Putin” (Xataka). The announced quantities have yet to translate into verified deliveries, and DailyDrop found no analysis of the effect on diesel prices in Peru.

Galarreta told the Senate that the Chamber of Deputies’ text “is not enough” and that the Executive seeks to bring in the DINI and the Armed Forces

Prime Minister Luis Galarreta appeared on Friday, October 9, before the Senate Constitution Committee to defend the delegated legislative powers. “So far, what has been approved is not enough,” he said, according to El Comercio, RPP, TV Perú and Altavoz. The Chamber of Deputies approved only citizen security and the El Niño phenomenon; the Executive seeks to add further measures, such as the participation of the DINI and the Armed Forces.

The daily Correo spoke of a “political war” that has moved to the Senate, and La República reported that Senator Mirtha Vásquez announced she will vote against the request. Some senators fear that changing the Chamber of Deputies’ text would “distort” it. There was no vote, and the debate continues.
