President Donald Trump’s plan to bring Russian diesel to U.S. and global markets has drawn bipartisan opposition from seven senators, including four Republicans, who say the administration is defying a 2022 law banning Russian energy imports and failed to consult Congress as required. Trump said Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel, followed by another 500,000 tons in November. The White House is seeking ways to ease sharply higher fuel prices before the fall midterm elections, but former U.S. officials have questioned whether Russia has the stated supply and analysts say the volumes are unlikely to materially lower global diesel prices. Supporters including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso say the purchase is within the administration’s authority, could reduce costs and provide leverage over Putin. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick plans to seek a House vote blocking all purchases of Russian oil.
