Trump’s US-Russia diesel deal draws bipartisan criticism

President Trump announced a deal to buy diesel from Russia, representing a shift in U.S. policy toward Moscow despite its ongoing war with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized the agreement, saying it would effectively support Russia's military efforts. Lawmakers from both parties have raised concerns that the deal would finance Russia's war and may violate U.S. law. The agreement remains controversial as questions persist about whether it will actually reduce fuel prices.
