ドナルド・トランプ氏、ロシアと合意しディーゼルを世界市場へ放出へ | BBC News

BBCニュースの報道によると、ドナルド・トランプ大統領はロシアのウラジーミル・プーチン大統領との合意を発表し、ロシアが大量のディーゼル燃料を世界市場に供給できるようになるとしています。トランプ氏は、30万トンが直ちに放出され、その後11月に50万トン、さらに100万トンが続くと述べました。その直後、米国財務省はロシア産ディーゼルの市場への流入を認める一時的なライセンスを発行しました。報道は、この発表が、イランでの戦争に関連した米国の燃料価格上昇を背景としていると位置づけています。ウクライナのゼレンスキー大統領は、対ロシア制裁の緩和は戦争を長引かせると批判しました。

Donald Trump says he has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin allowing Moscow to "immediately release" large quantities of diesel into the global market. Trump said Putin had agreed to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tonnes in November and another million after that. "Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. Putin confirmed that Russia was willing to supply both the US and global markets with oil and petroleum products. The announcement is the latest effort from Trump to lower fuel prices in the US, as he has spent months grappling with the political consequences of the Iran war, which began in February, and its impact on global energy prices. That conflict has sent the cost of petrol and, in particular diesel, skyrocketing in America in recent months, which has soured his standing with the public who have been stung by the higher pump prices and knock-on effects that led to across-the board inflation. Shortly after Trump's announcement, the US Treasury formally issued a temporary licence allowing Russian diesel into the market. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said in a statement that he had spoken to Trump about the global energy situation, adding: "The Russian side confirmed its willingness to supply oil and petroleum products to the US market and global markets at large. However Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said any easing of sanctions on Russia played into Moscow's hands and would prolong the war between their countries. He said "gifts to Putin will not work for peace" and that Russia would repay the diesel with "further terror". Russia has suffered severe fuel shortages across the country as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. According to the International Energy Agency, Russia’s diesel production is estimated to have fallen by nearly 30%, raising questions about its ability to export significant quantities of the fuel.
