Ted Cruz calls Trump's Russia sanctions waiver a mistake

huffpost.com —

Senator Ted Cruz criticized President Donald Trump's decision to waive sanctions against Russia, calling it a "mistake" during a Fox News appearance on Saturday. Cruz acknowledged the president's focus on lowering diesel and gasoline prices but argued alternative solutions exist, such as importing fuel from Canada, which he described as a friend rather than an enemy. The executive order, issued late Friday, drew outrage from multiple lawmakers, as the sanctions had previously received overwhelming bipartisan support and were tied to the legacy of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
