Controversial Trump-Putin deal. A surprising turn has occurred
A controversial agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin regarding diesel supplies from Russia to the U.S. is facing challenges as tankers unexpectedly change course. The Financial Times reports that two tankers, initially headed for the U.S., have diverted, coinciding with the lowest fuel reserves in the U.S. in 20 years. The deal aimed to lower fuel prices and bolster support for Trump's administration ahead of midterm elections but has sparked outrage and legal concerns among Democrats and some Republicans. New Jersey's governor has urged ports to refuse Russian diesel, leading to further complications for the agreement.
