Trump urges Zelensky to stop strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure, citing global shortage
During a visit to the Irish Open golf tournament at his Doonbeg club in Ireland on 13 September 2026, US President Donald Trump publicly called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian diesel fuel infrastructure, claiming they are causing a global diesel fuel deficit. Trump told journalists that the shortage stems from the Russia–Ukraine war rather than from US action against Iran, and said Ukraine may strike many other targets but not diesel. He did not call on Vladimir Putin to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.
