Donald Trump says Ukraine-Russia energy truce is in effect: "Because I said, ‘You agree.’"

President Donald Trump said Monday that a truce covering energy infrastructure between Ukraine and Russia was in effect, even though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces kept striking his country's power facilities. Trump also said the two sides had accepted the arrangement. The remarks came as lawmakers from both parties criticized Trump's newly announced agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring Russian diesel into the U.S. to reduce fuel costs. Six senators from both parties urged him to reverse it, arguing it would give Putin financial support. Rep. Lloyd Doggett said it broke a 2022 law barring Russian energy imports. Trump dismissed Republican complaints and blamed Zelenskyy for high U.S. diesel prices, saying he should step aside. The dispute concerns U.S. sanctions and backing for Ukraine.
