Trump: Jag har just avslutat ett mycket framgångsrikt samtal med president Putin, från Ryssland, där det beslutades att Ryssland omedelbart ska leverera över 300 000 ton diesel till den amerikanska och globala marknaden, ytterligare 500 000 ton under november och 1 000 000 ton därefter. Dessutom, baserat på deras dieselraffinerier, kommer Ryssland att leverera 3 000 000 ton diesel inom en kort tidsram. Genom vår TOTALA kontroll över Hormuzsundet och detta viktiga meddelande om rysk energi kommer dieselpriserna för amerikaner och hela världen att sjunka kraftigt. Lägre priser för amerikaner, särskilt våra stora jordbrukare, boskapssköttare och lastbilsförare, är min högsta prioritet. Detta är ett mycket viktigt meddelande. Dessutom måste det förstås att Iran inte kommer att ha en kärnvapen.
