Trump's Russian diesel deal faces congressional opposition and debate over diesel price causes
President Trump announced a deal allowing the importation of Russian diesel into the United States through April 2027 via a Treasury Department general license, aimed at reducing record-high domestic fuel prices. A House Democrat introduced the Prohibit Corrupt Russia Oil Deals Act with bipartisan support to block the deal. Analysts and officials are debating whether Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries or the US-Iran war is more responsible for rising diesel prices.
