# No U.S. buyer emerges after Trump's deal on Russian diesel

> A Trump-brokered accord to sell roughly 36 million barrels of Russian diesel to the U.S. and other buyers has not found a willing U.S. customer. Several commodity trading firms consider the risks too large to import the cargoes, and Brazilian distributors are now being offered the diesel instead.

## Why it matters

Failure to redirect Russian diesel to the U.S. keeps the diesel tightness that feeds into farm input and freight costs. Shifting cargoes to Brazil could ease a regional supply gap there.
