Russian rebellion against Trump in the USA: Republicans also opposed

In the statement published by 4 Republican and 2 Democratic senators in the US Congress, the oil agreement with Russia was protested.

The statement said the Trump administration did not consult with Congress or provide any explanation to justify its decision, as required by law.

US senators stated, "While Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians, the United States should not provide financial support to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. The administration should immediately change this attitude."

The statement continued, "Congress has made clear: The United States should not import oil from Russia until Russia ends its aggression against Ukraine and renounces its threats against our NATO allies."

US President Donald Trump announced on October 9 that they agreed with Russia to supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel in order to reduce global fuel prices, and in return they temporarily suspended sanctions.

Trump's announcement came just weeks after Congress passed legislation directing Trump to impose significant tariffs on the largest importers of Russian oil or natural gas.
