Trump thanks Putin over Russian diesel deal

US President Donald Trump thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin after announcing that Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to the US and global markets, with another 500,000 tonnes expected in November.

The US Treasury has issued a temporary license allowing imports of Russian diesel despite existing sanctions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the move as a "gift" to Putin, warning that easing pressure on Russia would not bring peace.
