NBC NewsOriginal★★☆☆☆2026-10-13 17:49
The diesel deal Donald Trump struck with Russia is smaller than two weeks of U.S. demand. Trump faces pressure to bring fuel prices down, with the U.S. midterm elections less than a month away.
This week’s letters challenge the Trump administration’s plan to buy Russian diesel as U.S. prices rise. One writer says the deal benefits Putin at Ukraine’s expense; a scholar argues a sanctions bill may not meaningfully pressure Moscow and warns it gives the president broad, weakly supervised tariff discretion.
After the diesel deal, the Kremlin ruler may test whether Trump is ready to ease further war-related sanctions.
