The Morning Risk Report: Trump Associates’ Russian Diesel Deal Draws Lawmaker Scrutiny Over Sanctions Legality

Lawmakers are questioning the legality of a diesel deal between former President Donald Trump’s associates and Russian interests.

The agreement has drawn scrutiny from congressional members concerned about potential violations of U.S. sanctions.

Details of the transaction remain limited, but it reportedly involves fuel shipments through a third-party intermediary.

Legal experts say the deal could breach restrictions imposed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The questions add to broader concerns about foreign business dealings tied to Trump’s inner circle.

Separately, the United Kingdom is considering paying whistleblowers who report financial fraud.

Officials say the proposal aims to strengthen enforcement and encourage earlier detection of misconduct.

Delta Air Lines has delayed its planned expansion of flights to Saudi Arabia.

The airline cited operational and regulatory factors for pushing back the timeline.
