„Este complet iresponsabil”. Republicanii critică blocarea noilor sancţiuni împotriva Rusiei de către Trump

Republican congressmen harshly criticized President Trump's decision to block new sanctions against Russia, calling it irresponsible and a favor to Putin. Senator Thom Tillis emphasized that the president could lower energy prices by addressing the Iran issue instead. Ted Cruz labeled the exemption as a mistake, while Michael McCaul urged Trump to reverse his decision. John Cornyn warned that aiding Putin in Ukraine could lead to further aggression against NATO allies. The sanctions relief comes shortly after an agreement allowing the U.S. to import Russian diesel, raising concerns ahead of the upcoming elections. Democrats also condemned the move, with Chuck Schumer stating it was a gift to Putin.
