According to CoinMeta, U.S. Representative to the United Nations Walz stated that Trump is balancing the world's energy needs. As reported by The Financial Times, the war in Iran has led to record-high fuel prices, as well as shortages of fertilizers and commodities. In order to reduce fuel costs, Trump reached an agreement with Russian President Putin this month to allow the sale of Russian diesel, a move that has drawn strong opposition from European and Ukrainian leaders. Walz said that this agreement is necessary to offset the global shortage of refined products that has affected various industries this year, from aviation to agriculture, and pointed out that it is causing a humanitarian crisis in East Africa. Walz believes that this cash can also motivate Russia to return to the negotiating table in a meaningful way to end the conflict.
