    Trump Announces Deal with Putin for Russian Diesel Supplies

    President Trump has announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, following a successful conversation, to supply the American and global markets with a significant amount of diesel fuel. Russia will immediately provide over 300,000 tons of diesel, with additional supplies in November and thereafter, totaling 4.8 million tons. Trump expects this agreement, combined with U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz, to lead to a substantial decrease in diesel prices worldwide, particularly benefiting American farmers, ranchers, and truck drivers. The deal also includes a temporary easing of U.S. sanctions on Russian diesel exports. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized the move, describing it as a 'gift to Putin' that could prolong the war in Ukraine.

    Montenegro Parliament's Autumn Session Begins Without Opposition Presence

    The first regular autumn session of Montenegro's Parliament began today without the presence of a significant number of opposition MPs.

The opposition has demanded the holding of a meeting of the Presidents of the Assembly, dissatisfied with the fact that the first autumn session is scheduled without prior consultations with the opposition club.
