President Donald Trump has announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply the US with an increased amount of diesel over the next few months. However, energy policy experts are skeptical that this arrangement will significantly lower diesel prices at the pump or elsewhere, as the impact on global oil prices is expected to be minimal.
The price of diesel in the US has reached record highs, contributing to inflation and increased costs for various goods and services. Energy experts suggest that the deal could benefit Russia by allowing them to unload surplus diesel, but it may not substantially lower prices in the US or Europe.
