Trump Turns to Russia as the World Runs Out of Diesel | The Link

Description: The world is running out of diesel, and the deals made so far won’t fix it. Seven months into the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea are blocked, Ukraine’s drones have knocked out Russian refineries, and shipping costs have exploded. Now Putin, Xi and Trump are each pulling on the same tap.

Trump says Putin will send 4.8 million tonnes of Russian diesel, but that covers only about two weeks of the global shortfall. China has stopped exporting, the US is weighing a ban of its own, and the G7’s emergency release is a stopgap. So how did the world run short of the one fuel it can’t do without? Why can’t anyone simply pump or refine more? And is India about to become the supplier the world can’t ignore?
