'Fickle with alliances': Trump faces growing BACKLASH to Russian diesel deal | MS NOW Highlights

Jen Psaki reports on Donald Trump giving Russian President Vladimir Putin another big boost by dropping sanctions to allow Russia to move more diesel fuel to market and suggested the U.S. would be among the buyers. Trump even thanked Putin, even though the diesel release is not expected to be enough to change global diesel prices, but will yield billions for Russia to spend on its war against ostensible U.S. ally, Ukraine. Joe Scarborough and the Morning Joe panel discuss Trump appearing to favor Putin over Zelenskyy. This comes as Trump insists the two warring nations have agreed to a so-called "energy ceasefire” — despite Zelenskyy saying Moscow continues firing on Ukrainian energy sites and Russia declining to say it has agreed to any ceasefire. Plus, several senators — including four Republicans — called for Trump to "immediately reverse course" on the diesel plan, adding: "The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians."
