Lawmakers Warn U.S. Ports and Banks Over Trump-Putin Russian Diesel Deal
Six Republican senators said the plan would send money to Vladimir Putin and do little to lower fuel prices.
- President Donald Trump cut a deal to bring Russian diesel to market, waiving sanctions Congress passed and signed into law just last month.
- The agreement sends revenue to Russian President Vladimir Putin while his military shells Ukrainian cities and knocks out power plants, critics argue.
- Six Republican senators labeled the deal "a gift to our adversary," while energy experts broadly agree it will not significantly lower fuel prices.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told senators that intelligence sharing with Ukraine remains degraded, as Republican Sen. Thom Tillis witnessed schools holding classes in subway stations for safety.
- Constituents press House Republican Steve Scalise to clarify if he supports enforcing the Russia sanctions law as written, as Congress demands answers regarding the administration's actions.
