US and Russia Agree on Diesel Supply Deal Amid Global Market Disruptions

US President Donald Trump announced a "highly successful" phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, resulting in an agreement for Russia to immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to American and global markets. This deal, which could expand to millions of tons, aims to reduce diesel prices, a key issue for US farmers, ranchers, and truckers. The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control is issuing a temporary general license for the sale, a move criticized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an "obvious weakness" if sanctions are eased without a de-escalation deal.
