Trump announces deal with Putin on millions of tonnes of diesel supplies

US President Donald Trump has announced that, following a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, an agreement has been reached on supplying several million tonnes of diesel fuel. According to Trump, the fuel is intended for both the US and the global market. If carried out, such a deal would affect fuel supply and prices well beyond the United States.

Trump says the step will allow fuel prices to fall rapidly. This is the American president's own claim, and the source provides no independent confirmation or further details.

Trump made the announcement on his social media platform, Truth Social, which he uses to publish his statements. The specific terms of the agreement, including delivery timelines, how volumes would be divided and how prices would be set, have not yet been made known.

The announcement concerns a conversation between the leaders of two major powers and the fuel market, which is why it may matter to a broad audience.
