Trump and Putin Agree on Diesel Deal; Zelenskyy Opposes

US President Donald Trump has reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import diesel oil to lower fuel prices in the US. Under the deal, Russia has agreed to release 300,000 tons of diesel immediately for the US and global markets, with further shipments of 500,000 tons in November and a million tons later. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the agreement, labeling it a gift to Putin and an investment in an ongoing war that should be stopped rather than prolonged. In response to the deal, the US Department of the Treasury has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian diesel production until April 7, though other Russian assets in US banks remain frozen.
