Trump’s Russian diesel deal driven by ‘dubious business motives’, Latvian MEP Kols tells Euronews

Trump-linked Russian diesel deal raises geopolitical and sanctions concerns, per Latvian MEP.

What happened: US President Donald Trump's deal to lift restrictions on Russian diesel sends a "very bad signal" and is driven by dubious business motives, Latvian MEP Rihard Kols told Euronews. Why it matters: Kols is among more than 100 MEPs who signed a letter urging the EU to keep supporting Ukraine and impose a full embargo on Russian oil and gas imports. He said EU states still importing Russian energy lack moral standing. Coverage: 4 outlets in 24h
