re: Isn't President Trump’s "deal with Putin" just the President bypassing US legal sanctions?

I wouldn't have voted for sanctions against Russia.


Then why are you arguing so much about Trump going around the sanctions?

I'm just trying to figure out why this is being described as a "deal." It's just Trump lifting sanctions after bitching about India and Europe for buying Russian oil


No, you're just trying to find any reason to complain about diesel price relief. Your focus on "why is this called a deal" instead of "this is good for diesel prices" shows your true motive.

Its not a deal for Russian oil

it is for russian diesel

quote:

Trump said on social media on Friday that he struck the deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call in which he was expected to discuss a suspected case of plague in Russia. Instead, Trump announced that Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter.” Russia will deliver an additional 3 million tons “within a short period of time” after that, he wrote.

Trump’s shocking announcement was in stark contrast to a sweeping Russia sanctions law he signed last month that aimed at clamping down on the oil and gas revenues that fuel Russia’s war against Ukraine.


not sure if the sanctions involve refined fuels, could not find any info

I don't have any motive other than curiosity. I still haven't heard of some grand gesture by Putin. It's like saying "I made a deal with Walmart! They agreed to sell lots of gas at market price! Of course, legally I can't buy it...."

Yeah. This was funny too. Trump imposing a 25% tariff on India for...wait for it...buying Putin's oil.

I love my country. The bullshitting from the White House isn't worthy of our great nation.
