Krugman did the arithmetic on the Russian diesel deal. 300,000 tons is a bit over 2 million barrels and America burns about 4 million a day, so Krasnov sold out Ukraine for roughly 12 hours of fuel. Meanwhile Canada has a diesel surplus right next door.

@portlandken.bsky.social

Trump is telling Americans that Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities is the reason diesel prices are high. THAT IS A LIE. Ukraine's attacks had no perceptible impact on diesel prices; Trump's Iran war is the cause of the spike.

Here's the data, straight from the Trump Administration itself.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. Importing a small amount of diesel from Russia will do nothing to bring down prices for American farmers and truckers.

@kamalaharris.com

Donald Trump and his war in Iran are to blame for our nation's sky-high diesel and gas prices. His latest ploy—buying fuel from his friend Vladimir Putin—reeks of weakness and will help pay for Russia’s war but will do nothing to make life more affordable for American families.
