What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Trump administration announced a fuel deal with Russia, a move that immediately raises questions about the status of existing American sanctions on Moscow. Sanctions imposed on Russia since 2022 have targeted key sectors including energy, finance, and defense. Any formal fuel agreement between the United States and Russia would require lifting, waiving, or restructuring specific sanctions provisions.
