LONDON — President Trump has reportedly concluded an energy deal with Russian President Putin, according to reports. The specifics remain undisclosed.

The timing has prompted concern from British officials. Dominic Waghorn, a foreign correspondent, reported that the British Foreign Office and Downing Street fear the agreement signals a "deeper problem" linked to the war in Ukraine.

Waghorn suggested British government concerns stem from a perception that Trump aims to "redress the balance" in the conflict as the war appears to be moving in Ukraine's favor.

The Russia-Ukraine war, which began in February 2022, has shaped international relations and energy markets. Neither the White House nor the Kremlin has publicly detailed the specifics of the reported deal.
