12.10.2026 ⇱ The Day Republicans Revolted Over Trump's Diesel Deal
⌹

Morning papers warned Finland faced the worst hit from the US-Russia diesel arrangement, with rising prices forcing bus operators to cancel services and seek direct state aid. Ilta-Sanomat reported pressure from Trump's own camp, including former Vice President Pence, to reverse the deal as senseless and feeding Putin's war machine.

By midday attention turned to Helsinki's response, with Ilta-Sanomat and MTV reporting government plans for fuel-price support expected to disappoint at the pumps. Former Prime Minister Sanna Marin told Ilta-Sanomat NATO should shoot down intruding Russian aircraft every time, a proposal rejected by Defence Committee chair Autto and experts citing a very high peacetime threshold.

Afternoon coverage shifted to Washington and NATO, with reports of Republicans distancing themselves from Trump, White House threats to end Ukraine aid, a Kremlin offer of an election-day truce and Zelenskyy's ceasefire conditions, alongside NATO warnings of strikes on Russian targets.
