@cspanofficial: President Trump on Friday touted his deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring more Russian diesel onto the market amid elevated energy costs caused by the war in Iran. "That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin, to be honest with you," he told reporters. "We have massive amounts of oil coming into our country and it's diesel, which is what we want." Russia has faced extensive sanctions since its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Treasury Department announced it would temporarily ease sanctions on Russia through April to allow more diesel onto the market. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticized the move, calling it a sign of "weakness" that would help fuel Russia's war effort. "Any easing of sanctions against Russia without a clear and lasting de-escalation agreement with Russia is an obvious weakness," he wrote on social media. "It plays into Russia's hands — allowing it to kill more, wage war for longer, have even less respect for America, and inflict even greater losses and damage on the world." President Trump brushed aside the criticism when asked by reporters. #trump #russia #diesel #ukrainewar #cspan

We don’t get oil from Russia. We export more diesel than what Russia is exporting currently…to the global market. Not directly to us
