Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil.
This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas.
Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

This is absurd. The US just lifted sanctions to import diesel from a country that: (1) bans its own diesel exports, (2) is rationing fuel domestically, (3) is bombing #Ukraine energy infrastructure. This is subsidizing Putin's war chest for fuel he can't even reliably deliver. Who does this serve?

Trump Says He Will Import Russian Diesel Fuel Amid High Prices

President Trump said Russia had agreed to ship potentially millions of tons of diesel fuel in the coming months. But Russia has an ongoing ban on exporting diesel.

Is this for real? I feel sick www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump announces deal with Putin to release Russian diesel

Diesel prices in the US have doubled since the war with Iran began in February, putting pressure on Republicans ahead of the midterms.

doesn't the Lindsay Graham Act imply that Trump should now put sanctions on Trump?

WarTranslated (Dmitri) @wartranslated.bsky.social · 2h

Trump announced finishing a highly «successful» discussion with Putin, securing immediate Russian deliveries of over 300 thousand tons of diesel fuel globally and to the US, plus 500 thousand throughout November, followed right away by another million.

Recap: Putin launches full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine defends itself valiantly with US support, West adapts a little to energy shock with more on the way, Trump returns to office, cuts aid to Ukraine & renewables, launches a war of choice causing new energy shock, imports fuel from Russia.

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · 2h

The United States is now importing fuel from Russia, per President Trump.
