GOP senators condemn Trump's Russia diesel deal as 'betrayal of our allies'
Europe3 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported49m ago
A bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators has condemned President Trump’s recent agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to lift sanctions on Russia's energy sector and import an estimated 2.5 million tons of Russian diesel. In a formal letter admonishing the pact, lawmakers criticized the decision as a "gift to our adversary" and a "betrayal of our allies" in Ukraine.
The deal was struck as an effort to ease domestic diesel supply shortages. However, the move has drawn sharp domestic pushback, with at least six Republican senators—including former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell—joining their congressional colleagues to demand that the president withdraw from the agreement and rescind the sanctions waiver.
