What happened
A Cuban boxer criticized both Democrats and Republicans for their associations with socialism and authoritarian regimes. The criticism followed the Treasury's issuance of General License 135, which permits the import of over 4.8 million tons of Russian diesel into the U.S. until April 2027. The boxer accused Donald Trump of siding with Russia and contributing resources to fund the war against Ukraine.
