Trump's Diesel Deal: A Midterm Fuel Fumble

A controversial plan to import diesel from Russia ahead of the midterm elections has sparked bipartisan criticism. The proposal was announced weeks before the U.S. midterm elections, drawing fire from both sides of the aisle.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers have all criticized the deal, proving that even bipartisan politics can be fuelled by irony. The move has turned the U.S. political landscape into a fuel-filled satire, with the nation’s fuel gauge stuck at 'republican' as the midterms loom.

In the end, the only thing that seems to be running on empty is the enthusiasm for a policy that promises to power a campaign but might leave the electorate gasping for a better plan.
