President Donald Trump announced Friday that Russia has agreed to immediately provide the United States with more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel and more in the future.

Trump said the deal was reached in a discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin and is expected to bring the cost of diesel down for Americans in the near future.

"I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter," Trump said on Truth Social.

The president said Russia will then deliver 3 million tons of diesel fuel shortly after the one million tons, though he did not give a specific timeline for the largest supply.

"Between our total control of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be coming down in record numbers, and fast," Trump wrote. "Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority."

The announcement comes as high gas prices, which are at least partly tied to the Iran conflict, have contributed to inflation and become a major point of contention ahead of the midterms next month.
