Trump Just Spoke With Putin - And There's A Big Diesel Update

President Donald Trump said Russia will “immediately” supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global markets, with an additional 3,000,000 tons to follow shortly, according to a Truth Social post after a “highly successful” discussion with Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump linked the announcement to lower diesel prices, citing U.S. “total control” of the Strait of Hormuz. The diesel comments came as the U.S. engages in parallel talks: envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Ukrainian negotiators in Miami on Friday. Diesel averaged $6.28 per gallon nationwide, per AAA. The report also references a G7 deal on releases and Trump’s earlier executive order on tax-free red dye diesel for highway use.
