Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has criticised a reported deal under which Donald Trump's administration would allow purchases of Russian diesel, calling it 'very risky' and saying it legitimises Moscow amid the war in Ukraine. The remarks highlight tension within Western diplomacy over sanctions policy and energy, with commentators debating whether easing restrictions on Russian oil undermines pressure on the Kremlin.

Why now: A close European ally of Trump openly breaking ranks over Russia sanctions policy is striking amid ongoing Ukraine war negotiations.
