Trump leans in on targeting Russian oil revenue as he tries to fulfill pledge to end Ukraine war

President Donald Trump is emphasizing that targeting Russia’s oil revenue is the best way to get Moscow to end its nearly three-year war against Ukraine. Trump pledged during the campaign that he’d broker a quick end to the conflict. Now that he's president, he's leaning in on the idea that the alliance of oil-producing nations holds the key to ending the war by reducing oil prices. It's a move designed to bleed Russia of revenue it needs to pay for the war. But the push on OPEC+ is an uphill battle. The alliance recently delayed increasing oil production because of weaker than expected demand and competing production from non-allied countries.
