Why it matters
The importation of Russian diesel was initiated by the President to help lower domestic costs. However, Curtis argues that the financial support provided to Russia will be used to fund military operations, stating that the U.S. funding of Russia's efforts is unacceptable.
The United States is currently importing Russian diesel following the lifting of sanctions, a deal that has been defended by Mike Waltz.
