German Minister Calls Trump's Deal with Putin 'Moral Bankruptcy'

A German government minister sharply criticized US President Donald Trump's deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Russian diesel fuel supplies, describing it as a moral bankruptcy. The minister's remarks underscored growing European concern about Washington's shifting stance toward Russia. The deal, which involves lifting some sanctions to allow Russian diesel exports, has drawn criticism from European allies who see it as undermining Ukraine's position and rewarding Russian aggression. Germany's reaction reflects broader European frustration with Trump's engagement with Putin without consulting key allies.
