Республіканці у Конгресі виступили проти угоди Трампа з Путіним щодо дизпального - ЗМІ

Republican Senator from Louisiana, John F. Kennedy, said he supported Trump's efforts to lower fuel prices, but did not approve the decision to allow Russia to export diesel.

The President (Trump - ed.) is doing everything possible to reduce the price of diesel fuel. But do you know what exactly will lead to a decrease in diesel prices? The end of the war in Iran, "the senator added.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Pennsylvania, introduced a bipartisan bill called the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act, which he said should block the possibility of lifting the sanctions by Trump.

Congressman Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, co-sponsored the initiative.

Fitzpatrick also announced significant support for Ukraine in Congress and among Americans.

Context

As Ukrinform reported, US President Donald Trump said on October 9 that Russia, with the consent of the United States, would immediately supply 300 thousand tons of diesel fuel to the global market. According to him, another 500 thousand tons will be delivered in November and 1 million tons after that. Subsequently, the Russian Federation promised to bring another 3 million tons of diesel fuel to the market.

What's next

Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Merkavsky said that Trump should have used the powers provided for by the sanctions legislation, instead of allowing Russia to earn on the export of diesel fuel and continue the war against Ukraine.

"We will be able to discuss the return of Russia to world energy markets after the end of the war, but for now we need to block all sources that help it," she said.
