Trump says Putin agreed to ‘immediately' supply more than 300K tons of diesel fuel, millions after

[FOX] President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to “immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter.”

He added on Truth Social, “Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority.”

The Treasury Department acknowledged the move, saying in an X post that its "Office of Foreign Assets Control is immediately issuing a temporary general license to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market." # id) ?>

Given the article showed diesel data in Weight (tonnage) vs Fluid (Litres/Gallon) measurements.

300kT = 300,000 x 2,000 = 600,000,000 LBS

A gallon of diesel fuel weighs approximately 7.1 pounds.
600,000,000 LBS / 7.1gallon = 84,507,042.25 gallons (84.5 Million gallons)

Various Gov web data sources checked show Europe uses about 4.6 billion liters of diesel per day, which is equivalent to about 1.214 billion US gallons.

So, 84,507,042 gallons is approximately 0.0697 of Europe's 1 day of use.

4 Trump says Putin will do it. What does Putin say? Because Trump makes a lot of claims that don't pan out.

7 Russia doesn't have the extra diesel so where the fuck is this going to come from? They can't even supply their own troops, harvest their crops or have normal truck transport for civilian use due to lack of diesel.
