Trump’s diesel deal with Putin draws calls for EU resolve

President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia to supply diesel fuel to the United States and global markets. This agreement occurs just one week before a new U.S. sanctions law on Russia takes effect. Consequently, a German environmental and human rights group urged European leaders to maintain energy sanctions. Meanwhile, critics argue the diesel deal is insignificant in scale and will not have any impact on global fuel prices.
