US President Trump announced a deal with Russia to supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the US, with potential for further deliveries ranging from 500,000 to 3 million liters. The specifics of the delivery timeline and the impact on American fuel prices remain unclear, although future prices experienced a slight decrease following the announcement. This agreement comes as the US faces high diesel prices due to limited oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war in Iran, a major political issue for Trump ahead of the midterm elections. Polls indicate Trump is blamed for high prices, threatening Republican control of Congress. Critics argue the deal isolates Ukraine and benefits Russia, contradicting calls for increased pressure on Poetin for peace negotiations. The deal is viewed as another setback for Kyiv and a sign of Washington shifting its stance.
