Trump Says Putin Agrees to Major Release of Diesel to US, Global Markets
US President Donald Trump said Friday that he had secured Russian leader Vladimir Putin's agreement for a major release of diesel, temporarily easing sanctions on Moscow as he pushes to lower energy costs ahead of midterm elections. "Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace," Trump said on social media after talks with Putin. The move comes weeks before key US midterm elections where Trump's Republican Party risks losing its current grip on Congress, while voters grapple with mounting cost of living worries.
