  "account": "President Donald Trump announced that Russia would supply the United States with over 300,000 metric tonnes of diesel, in an effort to lower fuel prices. This comes amid criticism of the deal, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calling it \"a weak decision\" and US Representative Don Bacon urging for continued sanctions against Russia. The US Treasury Department granted a license for the importation of Russian diesel until April 7. Analysts believe the deal may not be enough to maintain lower diesel prices, as Russia typically exports much larger volumes when its refineries are not under attack. Diesel prices have risen by 70% since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, with the US seeing average prices of $6.28 per gallon. Trump's administration plans to use the Defense Production Act to control fuel prices, potentially bypassing local regulations and utilizing the DPA to increase oil and fuel production.",
  "summary": "President Donald Trump has said that Russia had agreed to supply diesel to global markets in an effort to lower fuel prices.",
