To secure votes for the midterm elections, Trump sent money to Putin Diesel prices in the U.S. have hit a record high at $6.28 per gallon, up 70.8% year-over-year. With less than a month until the midterms, farmers and truck drivers are being driven crazy by skyrocketing diesel prices. So, Trump made a decision: Relax sanctions on Russia and allow the import of Russian diesel. Putin’s response was straightforward and swift: October: 300,000 tons. November: 500,000 tons. December: 1 million tons. Zelensky’s comment was just one sentence: “This is a big gift for Putin.” Diesel prices dropped slightly, But Russia’s war funds went up. To secure victory, Trump chose to send money to Putin. This is “America First” in a midterm election year. Next, we’re very likely to see: The U.S. “compromising” with Iran, swallowing its pride, reaching an agreement, and opening the Strait of Hormuz to lower oil prices. As for the 20,000 U.S. troops and three aircraft carriers deployed to the Middle East, They’re just Trump’s extreme pressure tactics to gain more bargaining chips. This is what Trump proudly calls the so-called “Art of the Deal.”
