Trump supports Russian diesel deal amid protests
U.S. President Donald Trump defended the agreement to import diesel derivatives from Moscow, which was signed to curb rising fuel prices ahead of the November midterm elections, despite objections from lawmakers of both parties and potential legal violations that prohibit the import of Russian products. The White House clarified that the move aims to address energy pressures resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on oil refineries, with experts confirming that the allocated quantities may not have a significant impact on American fuel prices in the near future. Conversely, some members of Congress fear that this step could weaken the sanctions regime on Russia and harm the United States' and its allies' negotiating position.
