The whole thing is BS. Trump was told to post that by the Russians. Russia wants Ukraine to stop bombing their refineries.
– he used the word 'tons' instead of 'barrels.'
– the amount being discussed Americans use in about 12 hours.
– US produces enough diesel for itself.
– in the message, Trump says "based on the condition of <russia's> Diesel Refineries".
– opens up possibility to blame Ukraine for US diesel prices.
– russia itself is extremely short on diesel.
