    US Lawmakers Warn Businesses Against Russian Diesel Imports

    A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has sent letters to major banks and port authorities, warning them against facilitating the import of Russian diesel into the US. The lawmakers argue that such imports raise significant legal questions and could face legal action and congressional investigations. The warnings come after an agreement between US President Trump and Russian President Putin for the delivery of Russian diesel to US and global markets. The first tanker loaded with Russian diesel is already on its way to New York. The lawmakers cite current US law that prohibits this type of import until the president certifies certain conditions related to Russia's actions in Ukraine and its threat to NATO members.
