NJ Governor Warns Ports Against Russian Diesel Allowed by Trump Governor Mikie Sherrill warned New Jersey port and terminal operators against accepting Russian diesel shipments authorized by the Trump administration, arguing that such imports would violate federal law and noting at least one tanker carrying the fuel may be headed for the state.
