Trump ignores Zelensky's reaction and thanks Putin for "huge amounts of oil." Video

A journalist in front of the White House told Trump that Zelensky described the agreement with Russia as a sign of weakness. Trump asked: “Who said that?” She replied: “Zelensky.” Trump said: “Okay,” and asked another journalist to ask his question.

Trump thanked Putin for a “good and necessary agreement,” adding: “I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia.”

He continued: "It is a big deal, as it includes the flow of huge amounts of oil into our country. I would like to thank President Putin."

US President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he had a phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Trump described the conversation as "very successful."

Trump said in his post on the “Truth Social” platform, “The two parties (Putin and Trump) agreed that Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global market. He added that the agreement includes another 500,000 tons during November, and then one million tons immediately after that.”

He explained that Russia would later deliver, “within a short period,” three million tons, “depending on the condition of its diesel refineries.” Trump described this as a "very big and important announcement."

Earlier, Trump blamed Kiev for the issue of rising diesel prices in a number of countries around the world, attributing this to the Ukrainian regime’s attacks on Russian civilian facilities, including energy facilities, which prompted Moscow to ban the export of diesel.
