Trump says Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Russia will supply the United States with over 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by additional shipments in November and immediately thereafter. This reversal of years of U.S. pressure on Russia comes as fuel prices have surged globally due to the conflict in Iran. The deal was struck during a phone call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who discussed the Ukrainian crisis and Iran.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the decision, calling it "a weak decision" for strong partners. The White House did not provide details on who is paying for the Russian diesel or when it would become available.
