Trump dice que Rusia suministrará diésel al mercado mundial tras hablar con Putin

President Donald Trump announced that Russia will supply diesel fuel to the global and U.S. markets following a successful conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a statement on his social media platform Truth Social. Trump revealed that Russia would provide over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel immediately, another 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons shortly after that.

Furthermore, depending on the state of U.S. diesel refineries, Russia would subsequently deliver 3 million tons of diesel fuel in a short period. The president linked this announcement to the ongoing war in Iran, claiming that due to complete control of the Strait of Hormuz and the significant fuel supply announcement, U.S. and global diesel prices would drastically decrease.

Trump emphasized that the primary objective is to achieve lower prices for Americans, especially for farmers, ranchers, and truckers, which is his top priority. The announcement comes at a critical time for the White House and the Republican Party, as recent polls show a seven-point advantage for Democrats in the November midterm elections.

Factors such as citizen unrest over high gasoline prices and difficulties in coping with rising living costs have led to this shift in traditional Republican territories. Earlier in the week, Trump had indicated the possibility of a conversation with Putin, albeit in the context of gathering information about a Russian virus outbreak that claimed a laboratory worker's life in Siberia.
