Senator Blumenthal Criticizes Trump's Diesel Deal with Russia Amid Sanctions
US Senator Richard Blumenthal criticized President Donald Trump's agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply diesel to the US and global markets, calling it an "embarrassment" and contrary to the bipartisan Russia sanctions law he co-authored. Blumenthal urged Trump to rescind the deal, warning it undermines sanctions aimed at Russia's actions in Ukraine and benefits Russian and Chinese economies. Trump announced the deal aims to ease rising fuel prices following their recent conversation.
