Trump faces bipartisan backlash over Russia sanctions waiver
Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported33m ago
President Donald Trump is facing swift and widespread bipartisan condemnation from top Republicans and Democrats following his decision to waive recent sanctions on Russia and suspend related measures. Lawmakers from both parties criticized the move on Saturday, describing the waiver as "irresponsible" and "a deal with the devil," while warning that it undermines critical support for Ukraine.
The controversy compounds existing legislative friction, as Trump already faces a coordinated bipartisan effort in Congress to overturn a separate Russian diesel deal when lawmakers return following the upcoming election.
