Anthony Blinken: "Trump’s diesel fuel supply deal with Vladimir Putin is a lose-lose. The amounts are too small to have a meaningful, sustained effect on the record prices American drivers, truckers, shippers, farmers, ranchers, and homeowners are paying at the pump, which are largely a result of Trump’s war of choice against Iran. But the deal does throw Putin a lifeline to continue his war of aggression against Ukraine."
