US bill introduced to block Trump-Putin diesel deal

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

A bill has been introduced in the US House of Representatives to block a "diesel deal" between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, aiming to reverse a Treasury license permitting Russian diesel exports. The bill, titled "Prohibiting Corrupt Oil Deals with Russia Act," was introduced by Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks and 16 co-sponsors. It would cancel the October 9 general license exempting Russian diesel supplies from sanctions until April 7, 2027, and ban future licenses. Meeks argued the deal would not lower US costs but would fund Putin's war in Ukraine. The license followed a Trump-Putin phone call on October 9, drawing criticism from Democrats and European allies.
