Trump announces MASSIVE Russian diesel shipment to US

What is a busy news afternoon here, breaking just moments ago, President Trump announcing a massive Russian diesel shipment, saying it will drive down fuel prices here at home. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz is now joining us. Great that we have you here, as this news is breaking, Ambassador. Thank you for being here in New York City. President Trump said he just concluded a conversation with Vladimir Putin, this breaking just now. It was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel to America and the global marketplace it's a good idea a deal with Russia well this we have first Senator we have to make a distinction there's a distinction between what's happening in the Straits of Hormuz which is you know oil coming out that's now coming out from our Gulf partners almost a pre-war level not coming uh from Iran due to our blockade different than refining capacity we've seen Europe close down all of their refineries over the years heck even California just shut down two refineries. And of course, the Ukrainians have been attacking Russian refineries as part of the war. The president has been clear in asking the Ukrainians to stop and asking, you know, from the perspective of the global economy suffering, it's diesel that powers our tractors, our trucks, our airplanes around the world. And this is an effort, at least for the next few months, to get more diesel out on the world market, he is still absolutely determined to drive this war to an end. So, look, for those that will, I think, kind of throw their hands up, the president, his envoys, all of us have been talking to Ukrainians and Russians about stopping attacks on grain, on fertilizer, on diesel, and other commodities that are powering the world economy as part of this war. OK, so diesel prices, we know this has been a major problem for so much business and commerce here in the United States. It's six dollars and 50 cents. Last I look, a gallon. President Trump says that Russia will immediately supply another 500,000 tons during the month of November, a million tons immediately thereafter. I mean, this is a massive amount. How much do you think this could actually bring down prices? And will do you believe diesel prices could return to pre-Iran war levels? Well, look, I'll leave it to the energy experts like Secretary Chris Wright in terms of how quickly that will drive prices down, but it will drive prices down. And that's not just the United States. I mean, we have famines in East Africa. We have people suffering around the world, both from the grain that's not coming out of Ukraine and Russia now, the fertilizer that's not coming out, and now the diesel that's not coming out. That's why we're trying to drive at least some temporary ceasefires and attacks on those infrastructure on each other's infrastructure. But again, it's all the more reason that President Trump has said from day one, the war needs to end. Got it. Can I get an update from you on the U.S. sanctions? Here's the Wall Street Journal headline and threatening to dismantle the International Criminal Court. We know Marco Rubio spoke to this, but what is the message that you're sending to the criminal court here with this move? The United States, this president, our secretary of state will always defend American sovereignty. And what I don't think people fully understand is the United States never signed up to the treaty. It's called the Rome Statute that makes us that makes countries under the authority of the International Criminal Court. So we have right now this court investigating American soldiers from actions 20 years ago in Afghanistan. You know, I was a veteran. Anytime we have horrific civilian casualties, it's an accident. But the last thing that we want that I think the American people or this president should stand for are international globalist courts with no authority over the United States, with no jurisdiction over the United States, who knows what their evidentiary standards are or who their prosecutors, by the way, I'll note Jack Smith was one of their prosecutors years ago, or even how they appoint their judges. We have a judicial system. We have a uniform code of military. justice. Is the goal to dismantle the criminal court? Well, look, I think the goal is to protect American sovereignty. What they end up doing to other countries is on them that signed up to that treaty. But we're going to defend American soldiers, American citizens. We could see a situation where they even go after American leaders as they're doing other leaders around the world. We never signed up for it. Before you go, what is the update with Iran? And is Iran openly defying President Trump's demands to abandon all their nuclear ambitions? There is no country in the world that has to enrich to weapons grade that isn't pursuing a nuclear weapon that supposedly just wants civilian power. Number one. Number two, there's no country in the world that buries it under hundreds of feet of solid granite. And number three, look, there are protocols for countries like the United Arab Emirates that do have civilian nuclear power and they subscribe to those inspections, those protocols Iran is doing none of that. Meanwhile, Scott Bessent has his foot on the neck of the Iranian economy, no oil going out, currency tanking, foreign currency reserves gone. Time is on the president's side, they have already tried under the UN General Assembly to come back and offer a deal but it was a garbage deal and president, uh, president Trump doesn't take bad deals, he is going to end this regime's pursuit of a nuclear weapon, got it, thank you for being here on the breaking news and more ambassador It's good to have you here, thank you, all right Well, hey everyone, I'm Emily Compagno, catch me and my co-host Harris Faulkner and Haley McEnany on Outnumbered every weekday at 12 p.m. Eastern or set your DVR, also don't forget to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page for daily highlights
