"We don't want windmills. (...) Show me a country with green energy, and I will show you a bankrupt country. You know, Germany tried it. They were about two days away from extinction." President Donald Trump claimed at a campaign event that the energy transition had brought Germany to the brink of disaster. "I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your damn wine and all the crap you send us. I will impose a 250 percent tariff on your wine, your champagne, and everything you send us, Emmanuel." At the same time, he threatened him, according to his own account in a phone call, with additional tariffs of 250 percent if French pharmaceutical companies did not offer their medications in the United States at lower prices. "I call him Muhammad. Someone said his name is not Muhammad, but Abdul. (...) I am the president. I can call him whatever the hell I want. To me, he is Muhammad. And he is a radical jihadist." Furthermore, Trump made derogatory remarks about the Muslim politician Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for the Senate for the Democrats. #Trump #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

Humiliation in live broadcast. This is how the phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin can be characterized, after which the President of the USA announced that Russia would immediately supply 300,000 tons of diesel and in the long term up to 5 million tons of this raw material. #Trump #Putin #Ukrajina (translated)

Anna asked whether a diesel agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin could have been made before its announcement. She wrote that the tanker Minerva Zen left Saint Petersburg on September 22 – 17 days before Trump's announcement. The ship, sailing under the Greek flag, had an undisclosed destination since its departure and was supposed to reach the US East Coast on October 11 or 12, according to data from Windward and Vortexa, a week after the House of Representatives voted for the Graham sanctions law. The route is documented, but the cargo is not, Anna wrote. Shipping papers are not available; estimates range from 230,000 to 300,000 barrels of diesel. Shipping analyst Michelle Wiese Bockmann could not say whether the ship had been redirected after Trump's announcement or whether an agreement had already existed before. Anna also pointed out that the US Treasury Department had issued General License No. 135 less than 24 hours before the report, allowing the import of Russian diesel until April 2027. She related the issuance on Thursday, a phone call on Friday, and the departure of the tanker on September 22, stating that the timing seemed unusual. While Kyiv had urged Congress to implement the Graham law, Washington could have already planned differently, according to her account. She cited Windward and Vortexa, quoted by Nasha Niva, as well as UkrMedia and NPR. #DieselDeal #Trump #Putin (translated)

Paul Ronzheimer reported that there was once again air defense in the center of Kyiv. Zelensky's advisors were shocked and speechless in light of the news from Washington: Trump is demanding a new president for Ukraine after the diesel deal with Putin. A close advisor of Zelensky told him that they had expected to come into focus again during the Midterm election campaign, but did not anticipate this development. According to Ronzheimer, there were numerous phone calls with European partners. The greatest concern was that Trump could actually end the intelligence cooperation. The US president is calling for an end to Ukrainian attacks on oil and gas facilities. #Ukraine #Kyiv #Trump (translated)

"The conversation, I would say very intense and friendly, between the two presidents lasted an hour and a half. Neither Putin nor Trump wanted to be the first to hang up during their phone call." And the atmosphere with Russia, after the coldness with which, just a few weeks ago, Washington had responded to Moscow that support for Kiev would not wane, seems suddenly more relaxed, at least according to what the Kremlin advisor, Yuri Ushakov, has stated: "The conversation, I would say very intense and friendly, between the two presidents lasted an hour and a half. Neither Putin nor Trump wanted to be the first to hang up during their phone call." #Gasolio #Ucraina #AccordoTrumpPutin (translated)
