Russia sending fuel to the US is the lifeline Putin needed

Republican Strategist Matt Mackowiak reacts to US President Donald Trump announcing a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to send fuel to America.

“I suspect in this case this is not just about bringing diesel prices down,” Mr Mackowiak told News24.

“I think it’s also probably a geopolitical move.

“Maybe something that Putin needs. He needs a lifeline economically right now; I think we know that. The economy of Russia is a disaster.”
