The president is reducing the tariffs on Putin’s diesel to lower costs here in the USA. Now, Moscow can circumvent the economic sanctions and sell oil.

 

I don’t know why Donald Trump has done this. I’m trying to find out. So far, I haven't found anything.

 

Looking at the president’s past, this is typically a prelude to a larger agreement he wants to make. Unfortunately, none of these deals have come to fruition in the last two years.

 

So, maybe it’s a backdoor play. I don’t know. It’s causing a lot of problems in Europe, the American left, and conservatives.

 

People don’t understand why we’re not punishing Putin fully. According to NATO, his invasion of Ukraine has caused the deaths of half a million people. The actual toll is probably higher.

 

Why give Russia some economic relief? The honest answer is: I don’t know.

 

But I will find out.
