News24 host Andrew Bolt says US President Donald Trump’s decision to make a diesel deal with Russia is “morally dubious at very best”, claiming the deal is “scapegoating” Ukraine.

“He [Donald Trump] is even allegedly threatening to cut off intelligence and military weapons to Ukraine … if he doesn’t agree to a deal he claims to have made to stop attacks on both sides’ power supplies, which in fact turns out to me only on Russia’s oil facilities, not Russia’s attack on power generation in Ukraine,” Mr Bolt said.

“Seriously … this is just terrible, I mean, it appals me to be frank.”
