The Trump administration moved Friday to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian diesel as President Donald Trump said Moscow had agreed to release large quantities of the fuel and suggested the U.S. could be a buyer. The surprise move comes as the Trump administration has struggled to bring the record diesel prices — caused by the ongoing war against Iran as well as Ukrainian attacks against Russian refineries — under control ahead of the midterm elections. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had just “concluded a highly successful discussion” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Putin agreed to supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel “to the American and Global Marketplace.” “Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The Treasury Department said in a post on X that it was “immediately issuing a temporary general license to allow the supply of Russian diesel to the global market.” Moscow has restricted diesel exports in recent months as Ukraine has accelerated its attacks on Russian refineries, contributing to the global shortage of the fuel. It is unclear how Russia will supply the large quantities of the fuel promised by Trump with a large chunk of its refineries out of commission.

BERLIN — Former German intelligence chief August Hanning angrily challenged his successor after learning that the agency he once headed, the BND, had passed allegations that he was a Russian spy to investigators.  In a three-page letter sent on Aug. 17, less than three months before his arrest this week, Hanning demanded answers to 11 questions from BND President Martin Jäger. In the letter, obtained by WELT — which, like POLITICO, is part of the Axel Springer Global Reporters Network — Hanning complained that the BND had passed allegations by a former intelligence agent that he was a Russian spy to investigators without consulting him. Jäger did not respond to the letter at the time, according to Hanning, who spoke to WELT before his arrest. Hanning’s subsequent arrest, including on suspicion of attempted treason, has caused considerable concern abroad. Grzegorz Malecki, the former head of Poland’s foreign intelligence service, told WELT that the case was “extremely concerning” and could deepen allies’ distrust of the BND. He warned this had the potential to undermine intelligence-sharing with Germany. The BND has also raised eyebrows within Germany’s intelligence community over allegations that it allowed Hanning’s former chief of staff, who is also in custody, to work for Hanning outside his official duties. While civil servants are generally permitted to take on outside employment, any approval allowing a member of the BND to work for Hanning would have had to be decided at the senior management level, said Günter Heiss, a former intelligence coordinator under former Chancellor Angela Merkel. “Without knowing the details, I would never have approved anything like this had I been in a position of responsibility at the BND.” Bernd Schmidbauer, a former minister of state and intelligence coordinator under Chancellor Helmut Kohl, told WELT that Hanning had made major contributions to Germany’s national security. The affair was therefore “not only a tragedy for the German intelligence services, but also for the former senior official himself,” Schmidbauer said. Hanning was among Schmidbauer’s closest aides during the 1990s and went on to lead the BND from 1998 to 2005. Dirk Banse is an investigative reporter at WELT.
