Senator Blumenthal condemns Trump's suspension of Russia sanctions

podrobnosti.ua (Ukrainian) —

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal criticized President Donald Trump for suspending the implementation of sweeping sanctions against Russia, calling the decision "vile and cowardly." Blumenthal, who worked with Senator Lindsey Graham on the bill proposing "hellish sanctions," stated Trump's move contradicts the will of most Americans, Congress, and European allies. He claimed the decision aims to please Russian President Vladimir Putin rather than serve U.S. national security. The president signed an executive order pausing tariffs, restrictions, and sanctions against Russia, including measures related to Russian energy purchases. Blumenthal urged Republican colleagues to condemn the action.
