Episode Details

A bipartisan group of twelve U.S. senators is calling on President Trump to rescind a significant diesel agreement struck with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling the deal a "betrayal" of Ukraine. The agreement involves the immediate release of 300,000 tons of diesel into the global market, with millions more tons expected in the coming months. Lawmakers argue the deal undermines sanctions passed earlier this summer and provides financial support for Russia's military operations. Meanwhile, Argentina has launched legal proceedings at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to stop British-led oil exploration near the Falkland Islands. Additionally, Cornell University has issued a ban on all fraternity parties following intense criticism over its handling of a 2024 sexual assault case.
