Trump Announces Russia Will Supply Diesel After Call With Putin; Treasury Temporarily Suspends Sanctions on Russian Diesel Until April 2027 (OFAC General License 135)

Sequence only, with date kinds. BBC (the lead’s cited source) and Reuters were not fetchable; this entry rests on Trump’s own post as quoted, MercoPress, Ship & Bunker and NBC.

• 2026-10-09 (announcement date, Friday): Trump posts on Truth Social that he had “a highly successful discussion” with Putin and that Russia “will immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel,” with 500,000 tons more in November and a further million after (NBC; volumes are Trump’s statement, not verified deliveries).
• 2026-10-09 (effective/issue date per trade press): OFAC General License 135 authorises Russian-origin diesel transactions until 12:01 a.m. ET on April 7, 2027. The lead’s “through Apr 7” is correct but the year is 2027, and the date comes from trade press, not the OFAC text.
• NBC (Oct 11) does not mention the April date or the Putin call details beyond Trump’s account.

Not established: the lead’s framing “suspends sanctions on Russian diesel” is a general license, not a repeal; EU/UK bans were reported (one source, unfetched) to remain. Next in sequence: 2026-10-10–trump-time-for-ukraine-to-get-a-new-president-musk-zelensky-gone-too-far.
