Trump says US will buy Russian diesel in deal with Putin
US President Donald Trump said he had struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the US to buy Russian diesel.
He also said Ukrainians should choose a new leader, accusing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of failing to make a deal to end the war with Russia.
Trump blamed Zelensky for high diesel prices in the US and criticised Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil infrastructure.
The deal gives Moscow economic breathing room, while the US purchase is unlikely to lower prices because the promised volumes are small and diesel prices are set by global markets.
Diesel is widely used in farming and trucking, so higher prices could be a concern for Republicans before the US midterm elections on Nov.

No further steps or details about the deal are given.
