Last week, President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an agreement for Russia to supply a few million tons of diesel fuel to the United States and global markets to help lower soaring fuel prices. The agreement involves an immediate supply of over 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by an additional 3 to 5 million tons from Russian refineries.

Since the beginning of the Iran war, the price of diesel has increased dramatically, putting pressure on America’s truck drivers, farmers, and countless other people who rely on diesel fuel for their livelihoods. But this deal will only embolden American enemies, including Russia but also Iran and China. Those countries now know that Trump is more interested in political power than he is in securing the safety of the country.
