Trump’s Russian Diesel Deal and the 'Cease-fire' That Already Failed
It’s a wild week in D.C. whereTrump is trading sanctions for diesel while pretending energy attacks are over.
So, Trump decided to bypass Congress and let Russia sell a massive pile of diesel fuel to the United States. Lawmakers from both parties are absolutely losing it, calling it a total betrayal of the 2022 import ban. Zelensky, for his part, isn’t holding back, calling the move a literal birthday present for Putin.
To top it off, Trump announced a shiny new energy cease-fire between the warring countries. The ink was barely dry on that announcement before Russia went right back to shelling a power plant in Kharkiv. When Zelensky complained, Trump just retorted that Ukraine should probably get a new president.
It’s a bold strategy to ignore federal law to help out a rival while claiming credit for a peace deal that lasted about as long as a sneeze.
