Russian Diesel: Trump Responds to Europe's Criticism by Citing US Energy Purchases from Moscow

US President Donald Trump criticized the European Union for paying $250 billion to Russia for energy, defending his deal with Moscow to import Russian diesel. He highlighted that despite reduced reliance on Russian gas, Europe still purchases Russian energy and nuclear materials, including uranium through Urenco. Trump announced that Russia would supply over one million tons of diesel to the US and global markets, with sanctions suspended until April 2027. Critics including senators and Ukrainian President Zelensky reacted negatively, while Trump claimed Moscow and Kyiv agreed on an immediate energy ceasefire.
