What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A dozen senators, including six Republicans and six Democrats, sent a letter to President Donald Trump on October 13, 2026, urging him to reverse a proposed deal. The deal would have allowed U.S. purchases of several hundred thousand tons of Russian diesel fuel. The senators wrote that the waiver of U.S. energy sanctions on Russia should be rescinded, calling the deal a betrayal of allies and a gift to Russia's adversary.
