President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia to supply diesel fuel to the United States. The agreement, reached during a phone call, is intended to lower domestic fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections. While Trump characterizes the volume as significant, analysts note the amounts may be small relative to overall U.S. and global demand. The move represents a shift in U.S. policy toward Moscow and comes amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
