An agreement on Russian diesel supplies could serve as a model for broader economic cooperation between Russia and the United States, Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev said on October 14.
According to Dmitriev, Moscow intends to continue working with Washington on economic and investment projects. He said potential cooperation between the two countries extends beyond the diesel agreement.
The deal was reached following talks between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Russia is expected to initially supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel to U.S. and global markets. To facilitate the deal, Washington temporarily eased some sanctions restrictions affecting Russian fuel.
The agreement has drawn criticism from Ukraine, European politicians and several U.S. lawmakers.
