Trump's Russia Sanctions Reversal Draws Bipartisan Backlash

President Donald Trump's decision to suspend a major sanctions package against Russia has drawn sharp bipartisan criticism from U.S. lawmakers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to The Washington Post. The move was condemned as capitulation to Putin. Republican Senator John Cornyn called the action "reckless," warning Putin won't stop in Ukraine and will target NATO allies next. Senator Thom Tillis labeled it "extremely irresponsible," while Democrats characterized it as betrayal of Ukrainian partners and a gift to Putin. Trump signed the executive order Friday, citing national interests without details. The sanctions, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, were set to take effect Sunday and targeted Russia's economy and major oil and gas importers.
