The account BrennpunktUA stated that the US Congress is planning to block an energy deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that a bipartisan coalition would soon introduce a bill aimed at prohibiting all purchases of Russian oil products. The draft is to be called the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act." According to Fitzpatrick, a vote in Plenary would be forced using a so-called "Discharge Petition" procedure, and the draft would be passed by an overwhelming majority. If successful, the procedure could be completed very quickly, according to BrennpunktUA. #USPolitics #Trump #Putin (translated)

Filip Dąb-Mirowski wrote that Donald Trump, by suggesting a change of president in Ukraine, should focus on his own political situation. He assessed that the Republicans will completely lose the midterm elections to Congress, and from January 2027, the U.S. will face two years of intense political struggle and obstruction from Congress. According to Dąb-Mirowski, if the Democrats take control of both chambers, they will call committees to summon members of the administration, military, officials, and agents for hearings. He claimed that the irregularities and doubts revealed in this way would exacerbate Trump's problems, whose support—he wrote—is already at a record low. He also predicted that the president would become increasingly inclined to govern by decree, question election results, and seek conspiracies and misinformation. The author warned that the political deadlock could weaken the U.S. position on the international stage and trigger financial turmoil, including budget blockages. He summarized that in his opinion, Trump could lose his position sooner than Volodymyr Zelensky. https://t.co/7Zjtk5Ilet #Trump #Ukraina #Polityka (translated)

Filip Dąb-Mirowski wrote that Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding the resumption of Russian diesel exports to international markets. According to the author, the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended related sanctions until April 7, 2027. Dąb-Mirowski assessed that sales could provide Russia with funds for further waging war, as the planned budget deficit was expected to be twice as high as initially anticipated, and the economy and finances were experiencing the greatest collapse since the 1990s. He also wrote that Putin was cutting social spending, directing funds to the military. The author noted that Russia would not be able to supply the planned volumes, reaching 3 million tons, in the foreseeable future. He cited the shutdown of the largest refineries due to Ukrainian airstrikes, limited maritime export capabilities, and prioritization of domestic market supply as reasons. He added that supplies of that size would not impact the global market, as they would be too small relative to its needs. Dąb-Mirowski speculated that the agreement could precede an American ultimatum to Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian petrochemicals. He also pointed out that it was announced during a visit by a Ukrainian delegation to Florida, where they were supposed to prepare a peace plan together with American negotiators. According to the author, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration that Ukraine was acting as a shield for negotiations with Russia. The author claimed that the Republicans were heading for a historic defeat in the upcoming midterms, which were to take place in four weeks, and Trump wanted to lower fuel prices in the U.S. Dąb-Mirowski indicated the Strait of Hormuz as the heart of the problem, which — he wrote — Trump had failed to resolve. He summarized that in his opinion, this confirmed the pro-Russian nature of the current U.S. administration. #Trump #Putin #sankcje (translated)

Simon Betschinger described BMW's decision not to provide a company car to the AfD as irrational in a contribution referencing a WELT report. He wrote that the AfD is currently polling at 30 percent voter support; the BMW Group sold 290,742 vehicles in Germany last year. BMW risks losing potential buyers who are AfD voters as a result. Betschinger warned of a similar "Go woke, go broke" effect as seen with Bud Light: Its sales in the U.S. have dropped by about 25 percent after the brand took a stance against the Republican Party. #BMW #AfD #Politik (translated)
