There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests—for rats. Trump announced an agreement with Putin on diesel fuel supplies. Russia will supply 300,000 tons in October, 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons in December. At the same time, the U.S. eased the relevant sanctions, allowing imports of Russian diesel until next April, while Russia will also lift restrictions on diesel exports ahead of schedule.
Real needs lie behind the consensus. The U.S. wants to increase supply, reduce transportation and agricultural costs, ease inflation and electoral pressure; Russia needs to expand energy exports, increase revenue, and seeks sanctions relief. The U.S. is trading market access for supplies; Russia is trading energy for revenue and negotiating leverage. When the costs of confrontation begin to affect vital interests, the basis for cooperation emerges.
