Trump Says Putin Agrees to Major Release of Diesel to US, Global Markets

US President Donald Trump said Friday that he had secured Russian leader Vladimir Putin's agreement for a major release of diesel, temporarily easing sanctions on Moscow as he pushes to lower energy costs ahead of midterm elections.

"Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace," Trump said on social media after talks with Putin.

The move comes weeks before key US midterm elections where Trump's Republican Party risks losing its current grip on Congress, while voters grapple with mounting cost of living worries.

Prices at US gasoline and diesel pumps have surged since late February, when US-Israel strikes targeting Iran triggered Tehran's blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for energy transit.

This has piled economic pressure on American households, and the US Treasury Department had previously unveiled temporary sanctions waivers to address oil supply shortages sparked by the war.

On the latest release of diesel, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Friday that Moscow is set to supply "another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter."

"Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel," Trump said.

The US Treasury issued a temporary license Friday to enable Russian diesel to flow to global markets through April 2027.

Moscow has been hit with waves of sanctions by the United States and partners since its 2022 invasion of neighboring Ukraine.

But limited US sanctions waivers this year to allow sales of Russian oil have sparked concern, seen as complicating efforts to deprive Moscow of revenue needed for its war on Ukraine.

Trump's announcement on Friday also came as US, Ukrainian and European officials were due to hold talks in Miami in a fresh diplomatic effort to end Russia's war.

Moscow, which launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, now occupies roughly one-fifth of Ukrainian territory.

Angelo Kourkafas of Edward Jones noted Friday that the deal with Russia is "alleviating some of the worst-case scenarios" on energy supplies and inflation.

For now, Trump insisted that the "great announcement" on Russian energy would help lower costs quickly.

"Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority," the US leader added.

The average cost of regular US gasoline has jumped more than 46 percent since late February to $4.37 per gallon, while that of diesel rocketed 67 percent over the same period to $6.28 per gallon.


Vance Expresses Doubts about Pentagon Plan to Livestream Fort Hood Shooter’s Execution

Vice President JD Vance cast doubt Friday on whether the Pentagon will livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan in December but told reporters that if it is livestreamed, “I’m not going to be watching it.”

The Republican vice president said, “I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen,” when asked about the plans that the Pentagon confirmed Thursday. But Vance then tried to set aside the controversy over the shocking plans for a public execution and said Hasan’s crimes should not be forgotten.

Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others in a shooting spree at the military base in 2009.

“So whatever the controversy is about the method of the execution, I hope that people don’t forget that this is a guy who brutally murdered a lot of innocent people,” Vance said.

“Now, that said, I mean, look, if it’s ultimately livestreamed, I’m not going to be watching it,” he added.

Vance is a convert to the Catholic Church, which has long opposed capital punishment.

Earlier Friday morning, the head of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops condemned the US government’s decision to livestream Hasan's execution.

“It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War’s decision to publicly livestream the execution,” Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the conference, said in a statement. He added that the decision was “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.”

Earlier, President Donald Trump told a White House event that Hasan will be getting “the death penalty through firing squad. And he deserves it.”

Trump, who approved Hasan's execution, called him “a maniac.”

The president approved the method of execution by firing squad days after a failed attempt to execute Christa Pike by lethal injection late last month pushed Tennessee’s governor to halt further executions in that state this year.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military hasn’t executed a service member by firing squad since World War II. The last military execution took place on April 13, 1961, when Army Pvt. John Bennett was executed by hanging.

Trump, who has long been a vocal supporter of capital punishment, didn’t mention the plans that the Pentagon has announced to livestream the execution so that the broader public can see it.

Netanyahu ve Trump’tan Navi Pillay’in Nobel Barış Ödülü’nü kazanmasına tepki

İsrail Başbakanı Binyamin Netanyahu, cuma günü Nobel Barış Ödülü’nü kazanan Navi Pillay’i sert bir dille hedef alarak Güney Afrikalı hukukçuyu “Yahudileri şeytanlaştırmaya çalışan bir fanatik” olarak nitelendirdi.

Netanyahu, X hesabından yaptığı paylaşımda, “Nobel Komitesi ahlaki pusulasını kaybetti. En prestijli ödüllerinden birini, Yahudileri şeytanlaştırmaya katkıda bulunan bir fanatiğe verdi” ifadelerini kullandı.

Pillay, geçen yıl Birleşmiş Milletler’e bağlı olmayan bağımsız uluslararası soruşturma komisyonuna başkanlık etmişti. İşgal altındaki Filistin topraklarına ilişkin çalışmalar yürüten komisyon, İsrail’in Gazze Şeridi’nde “soykırım” işlediği sonucuna varmıştı. AFP’nin haberine göre komisyon, BM adına karar almıyor.

İsrail Dışişleri Bakanlığı da X üzerinden yaptığı açıklamada Pillay’i hedef aldı. Bakanlık, “Yalanlar, nefret ve kan iftiraları için bir ödül olsaydı Navi Pillay yalnızca aday olmakla kalmaz, kazanma ihtimali en yüksek isim olurdu” ifadelerini kullandı. Açıklamada, Pillay’in “siyasi saiklerle İsrail’i durmaksızın şeytanlaştırmasının” bunun en açık kanıtı olduğu öne sürüldü.

Bakanlık, Nobel Komitesi’nin “21’inci yüzyılın en büyük yalanını ödüllendirdiğini” savundu. Açıklamada, “Pillay’e Nobel Barış Ödülü verilmesi adaletin takdir edilmesi değil, ödülün İsrail’e yönelik nefret ve önyargıyı meşrulaştırmak için anormal biçimde bir silaha dönüştürülmesidir” denildi.

Trump: Nobel Barış Ödülü’ne hakaret edildi

ABD Başkanı Donald Trump da Washington’da yaptığı açıklamada, Nobel Barış Ödülü’nün Navi Pillay’e verilmesiyle “aşağılandığını” söyledi.

ABD, Nobel Komitesi’nin eski Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi (UCM) yargıcı Pillay’e Barış Ödülü’nü vermesinden saatler sonra, cuma günü UCM’ye yaptırım uyguladı. Washington, mahkemenin faaliyetlerini felç etmeyi hedeflediğini bildirdi.

ABD yönetimi, yaptırımları “Amerikan egemenliğini ve vatandaşlarını Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin oluşturduğu tehdide karşı savunma” gerekçesiyle uyguladığını belirtti. ABD Dışişleri Bakanlığı tarafından yayımlanan açıklamada bu gerekçeye yer verildi.

ABD Dışişleri Bakanı Marco Rubio, “Ya Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi tehditlerine son verir ya da biz mahkemeye son veririz” dedi.

UCM’den yaptırımlara tepki

Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi, yaptırımları “hukukun üstünlüğüne yönelik bir saldırı” olarak nitelendirerek kınadı.

Mahkemenin açıklamasında, yaptırımların “hukukun üstünlüğüne ve uluslararası hukuk düzeninin temel dayanaklarına yönelik bir saldırı” olduğu belirtilerek “Hiç kimsenin hukukun üzerinde olmadığı” yönündeki temel ilkeye zarar verdiği vurgulandı. Açıklamada, “Tarih bu anı yargılayacaktır” ifadesi kullanıldı.

Avrupa Birliği de ABD’nin UCM’ye yönelik yaptırımlarını “son derece üzücü” olarak nitelendirdi. Birlik, mahkemenin görevini yerine getirebilmesini sağlamak için gerekli tüm önlemleri almaya hazır olduğunu bildirdi.

Avrupa Komisyonu, “Avrupa Birliği, çalışmalarını etkili biçimde sürdürmesini sağlamak amacıyla Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi ile yakın iş birliği içinde çalışacaktır” açıklamasını yaptı. Komisyon ayrıca yaptırımların yürürlüğe girmesinden önce tanınan altı aylık sürenin “diyalog için bir alan” oluşturmasını umduğunu belirtti.
