President Trump Announces Deal with Russia to Supply Diesel Fuel to U.S. and Global Markets

President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Russia for the supply of over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, with further shipments planned. The White House stated the goal is to lower prices for Americans. Senator Angus King (I-ME) criticized the deal, arguing it would not significantly ease the burden on American consumers and would instead help fund Russia's aggression.
