US lawmakers are pressing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enhance enforcement of the federal ban on Russian diesel imports, indicating potential tightening of US trade flows. Concurrently, Russia's Ministry of Finance has confirmed it will not alter its fuel damping payment rules or implement a moratorium on zeroing out fuel damper payments, signaling continuity in its domestic energy fiscal policy. The US enforcement action is an emerging claim, while Russia's policy stance is confirmed.
