Trump announces Russian diesel deal
President Donald Trump said Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US and global markets, with up to 1.5 million tonnes to follow, four international news groups reported. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the decision a gift to Moscow, while Trump said it would reduce fuel prices.
Why it matters
The deal could provide Russia with revenue and strain Western unity over sanctions imposed after its invasion of Ukraine.
