Trump's diesel deal with Putin draws bipartisan backlash

–

Neutral summary

The agreement on supplies of up to three million tons of Russian diesel fuel to the U.S., reached by President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, has drawn widespread criticism. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Berlin is not considering a similar deal and considers lifting sanctions unacceptable, calling for tighter restrictions. Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo called the agreement a "terrible disappointment," and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis called it a complete shock. Britain opposed the deal and called for increased pressure on Moscow. In the U.S., a group of senators demanded Trump immediately reverse his decision, accusing the administration of violating federal law banning imports of Russian energy. Former Vice President Mike Pence said the decision "makes no sense," while Kamala Harris said the plan "reeks of weakness." Trump defends the deal, claiming the EU paid Russia $250 billion for energy and that U.S. media ignore this fact. However, according to UNIAN, a tanker heading to the U.S. with Russian diesel carried a different cargo. Analysts, including Forbes, doubt the volumes will significantly affect prices. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said easing sanctions "plays into Russia's hands."
