Congresmeni din tabăra lui Trump critică suspendarea noilor sancţiuni împotriva Rusiei de către președintele SUA

Republican leaders have criticized Donald Trump's decision to exempt Russia from new sanctions aimed at supporting Ukraine. This move has raised concerns within the party ahead of the upcoming elections, as Trump's approval ratings are historically low. Senator Thom Tillis called the decision irresponsible, while Ted Cruz labeled it a mistake. Trump's executive order allows for the exemption of sanctions targeting the Russian energy sector, coinciding with an agreement to import Russian diesel. The decision has drawn backlash from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, with calls for Trump to reverse it. The Graham Act, which initiated these sanctions, represents a significant congressional action against Russia since Trump's return to power.
