Trump’s plan to import Russian diesel won’t bring costs down or help the U.S. economy...but it will give Russia a handout.

@gbenga_ajilore says: “There is no universe where it would make sense to cut rates at this moment.”
President Trump is crossing the country promoting “megaprojects” that may not happen, while American families are struggling to pay bills.
