Trump's Russian diesel deal draws bipartisan backlash
Original: diesel fuel
The Trump administration is defending a deal allowing Russian diesel imports, framed by Energy Secretary Chris Wright as a 'carrot' to lure Moscow into peace talks. Critics disagree: House Democrats have introduced a bipartisan bill to block it, while the WSJ, NYT and CNBC report skepticism that the move bolsters Putin's economy at Ukraine's expense.
Why now: A controversial US policy reversal on Russian energy sanctions is being actively debated across Washington and major news outlets.
