The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that U.S. companies are unlikely to import Russian diesel, despite President Donald Trump's temporary waiver of some sanctions on Moscow's exports. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe reports that banks may hesitate to finance imports of Russian diesel due to legal uncertainties around the President's waiver. Lawmakers from both parties objected last month when Mr. Trump temporarily waived parts of a law that slapped Moscow with sanctions over its Ukraine invasion. A tanker carrying a cargo of Russian diesel for the U.S. halted its voyage off the East Coast this week. Its operator said the destination had not been decided. On Tuesday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he was confident the idled tanker would help supply global markets even if it did not land at a U.S. port. Jeremy Paner, a former U.S. sanctions official, says any buyers, however, could damage their reputation and also face legal risks if they engage in such "prohibited but authorized transactions." Mr. Paner says any savings from buying cheaper Russian diesel could easily be wiped out by the need to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees from likely upcoming congressional investigations.
