A tanker carrying Russian diesel is heading to the United States in what Reuters, NBC News and other outlets described as the first such shipment under a deal between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin said the vessel had set sail despite protests from Ukraine, while shipping data cited by several outlets indicated that it had signaled a U.S. port.

The Washington Post reported that Democrats plan to investigate U.S. diesel companies involved in easing sanctions on Russia. The shipment comes as the United States seeks to revive peace talks over the war in Ukraine, according to The Guardian.
