AfD leader Alice Weidel calls for a US-style diesel agreement for Germany

AfD chairperson Alice Weidel addressed the press in Berlin, demanding that Germany pursue a diesel procurement deal modeled on the United States' recent strategy. She argued that German energy policy has failed to deliver results and that the country is being left behind while the United States secures fuel for its market. Weidel highlighted Donald Trump's pragmatic stance, noting his statements following a conversation with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin about expanding diesel supplies.
The German politician called for immediate negotiations to ensure diesel access for German consumers. She also criticized the handling of Ukraine policy, suggesting it has not achieved its goals.
