High fuel prices are a source of electoral discontent in the United States ahead of the November 3 legislative elections, where Republicans risk losing control of Congress.
Donald Trump announced Friday that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had committed to supplying several million tons of diesel “for the American and global market” over several months, after a “very fruitful discussion.” “Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and world market, 500,000 tons more in November and 1,000,000 tons immediately thereafter. Furthermore, depending on the state of its refineries, Russia will quickly deliver 3,000,000 tons of diesel,” he wrote on his Truth Social network.
“Diesel prices for Americans, and indeed the world, WILL RAPIDLY FALL IN RECORD PROPORTIONS!” Lower prices for Americans and especially our great farmers, breeders and truckers are my biggest priority,” added Donald Trump. The American president knows that the high price of fuel is a major cause of voter discontent before the very important legislative elections on November 3 in the United States. The Republican Party fears losing control of Congress in these elections.
