Trump’s big fix for fuel crisis unravels as experts point to basic math: 'Head scratcher'​

Energy experts found that the first shipment of Russian diesel President Donald Trump touted as a price fix would keep the United States supplied for only a matter of hours.

Trump announced the deal Friday on Truth Social after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He wrote that Russia would “immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace.”

He promised 500,000 more tons in November, 1 million tons after that and 3 million more “within a short period of time,” depending on the condition of Russia’s refineries. Trump said diesel prices would be “COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!”

Diesel still averaged $6.23 a gallon nationwide, according to American Automobile Association figures cited by the Associated Press, after hitting a record $6.52 on Sept. 22.
