In brief
President Donald Trump said Friday that Russia agreed to put millions of tons of diesel on the American and global markets as diesel prices sit near record highs.
"Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel," Trump posted after a Putin call; futures fell 4.5% with U.S. diesel near $6.28 a gallon.
After a laboratory researcher in Siberia died of pneumonia of unknown cause, reports raised fears of a possible pneumonic plague outbreak, including claims of quarantines and medical observation; the cause remains unconfirmed. Russian authorities say tests found no work-related pathogens, while the U.S. says it is monitoring the situation and a former CIA officer warns that any perceived cover-up could deepen distrust of Moscow amid economic and wartime strains.
All 23 Indian crew of the Liberian-flagged Aframax Rio were rescued uninjured after an unmanned-vessel attack set the tanker ablaze off Sochi; crude oil burned on the Black Sea.
