United States President Donald Trump will import 300,000 tons of diesel fuel from Russia immediately after reaching a bilateral agreement with President Vladimir Putin. The policy reversal lifts energy sanctions on Moscow in an effort to lower fuel prices before the November 3 midterm election. The move dismantles years of Western restrictions put in place following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and comes as high energy costs tied to the war in Iran threaten Republican control of Congress.
