Trump’s Diesel Deal with Putin: A Betrayal of Allies?
Is the US President's decision to let Russia export diesel fuel on the global market a "gift to our adversary" as lawmakers claim? Six Republican senators have joined their Democratic colleagues in a letter urging President Trump to cancel the deal, which would allow Russia to supply 4.8 million metric tons of diesel through mid-April. The deal has drawn an unusually critical response from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who counts on continued US support for his military. Oil analysts don't think the Russian supply will be nearly enough to make a meaningful impact on prices. The US lawmakers are urging Trump to reconsider the deal, arguing that it will not benefit Americans and will instead finance Russia's war efforts.
