Trump Is an Easy Mark for Putin

The president’s diesel deal sells out Ukraine, and does nothing for Americans.

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.

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.
