Trump says U.S. will buy diesel from Russia to ease prices

Original: Trump says U.S. to get diesel from Russia, relaxing pressure on Moscow to ease prices before midterms

Former President Donald Trump said the United States would obtain diesel from Russia, a move that would relax pressure on Moscow in order to bring down fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections. The statement is drawing criticism from those who see it as weakening the U.S. stance on Russia amid the war in Ukraine, while supporters frame it as a bid to cut energy costs for American consumers.

Why now: It suggests a possible reversal of U.S. sanctions policy toward Russia timed to the midterm elections, which is politically explosive.
