What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Donald Trump stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel to the American and global marketplace. This deal was announced as a way to relieve pressure on pumps amid skyrocketing prices for oil and diesel, which were attributed to Trump's war with Iran. Separately, an energy expert in Ukraine noted that the consequences of the Iran conflict limit air defense aid and drain stocks for Ukraine.
