Friedrich Merz called a recent diesel export agreement between the United States and Russia "unacceptable" for Germany and Europe. This follows an agreement between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia would supply diesel fuel to the United States and global markets. The Russian government had previously partially lifted restrictions on diesel exports since early 2026.
