New Delhi, Oct. 13 -- Donald Trump's new diesel agreement with Vladimir Putin is raising questions about US energy policy, sanctions on Russia and the future of support for Ukraine. Trump says Moscow will release diesel supplies to American and global markets to help ease soaring fuel costs ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. But analysts warn the deal may have only a limited impact on prices, while critics argue that renewed Russian energy sales could provide Moscow with an economic boost during its war against Ukraine. The agreement follows major energy disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and has drawn bipartisan criticism in Washington. Can the deal deliver relief to American consumers in time for the midterms?

Donald Trump is facing rare bipartisan resistance over his controversial diesel arrangement with Russia, with Republican senators joining Democrats in demanding that the administration reverse course just weeks before the midterm elections.Trump’s plan temporarily eases restrictions on Russian fuel in an effort to bring down soaring diesel prices. But critics say the move risks undercutting sanctions imposed over Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine — and could hand Moscow fresh revenue at the very moment Washington is supposed to be tightening economic pressure. Reuters reports that four Republican senators joined Democrats in challenging the policy, while Sen. Thom Tillis warned the move could be unlawful.
