Trump lifts Russian oil sanctions amid Iran's Hormuz blockade

To curb oil price spikes, the Trump administration decided to temporarily allow the sale of sanctioned Russian oil until the 11th of next month. Trump had previously emphasized, “Lowering Russian oil prices is key to ending the Ukraine war,” but the Hormuz blockade has instead made Russia the biggest beneficiary of the Iran conflict due to surging demand for its oil. The White House is also considering temporarily exempting foreign vessels from the Jones Act, which requires U.S.-built ships for domestic port-to-port transport. Enacted in 1920, the law mandates the use of American vessels for transporting goods between U.S. ports.

But just two days ago he said “The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money.” So by lowering the price of oil, Trump doesn't want The United States to make a lot of money, or he is just constantly lying and thus contradicting himself.

If there's any lingering doubt that Trump is wholly owned and operated by Putin, this should dispel it.

To Address Farm Labor Shortage, Trump Administration Turns to Migrant Workers

For years, the agricultural sector has faced a tight labor market as farmworkers age and fewer new immigrants and younger Americans are willing to toil in the fields. Top Trump administration officials vowed that mass deportations would help, leading to “higher wages with better benefits” and a “100 percent American work force.”

But the administration has quietly acknowledged in recent months that its immigration raids and crackdown on the border have aggravated the issue. So it has instead turned to an alternative source, making it cheaper for farmers to hire immigrant farmworkers on temporary visas.

Many farmers have celebrated those changes, made to an increasingly popular visa program known as H-2A, noting the difficulty in hiring American workers and tough economic conditions for the industry. But immigration hawks and labor unions alike are opposed, arguing the move will only increase the share of foreign workers and hurt native workers and suppress their wages.
