🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Russian diesel is heading directly to the U.S. for the first time under Trump's new deal with Putin. And one of the tankers is SANCTIONED by America's European allies. 3 vessels carrying ~140,000 tonnes of Russian diesel are scheduled to reach U.S. ports next week, after Washington temporarily exempted the fuel from sanctions. The first tanker is expected in New York on Nov 7, followed by two more, including the Leruo, which is blacklisted by the EU, UK and Canada.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇵 The typical American, German and Brit are all POORER than they were in 2020. The typical Japanese? Over 50% richer. That’s median wealth per adult after inflation, from UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report. The typical American and German are both down almost 20%, and the Brits got hit hardest of the 3, losing 23.6%. France is down 12.2% too. Japan, meanwhile, posted the biggest gain of any country UBS tracks, followed by the UAE, up roughly 40%. FEWER THAN HALF the countries in the report have a typical adult who’s better off than at the start of the decade. 6 years, a pandemic and an energy crisis later, and the “rich” West has some explaining to do.
