Bipartisan Group of US Senators Accuses Trump of Violating Russian Energy Import Ban

A bipartisan group of seven American senators accused Trump of violating the law banning the import of Russian energy resources. Lawmakers led by Jeanne Shaheen said the White House authorized the import of a shipment of Russian diesel fuel into the US, bypassing restrictions adopted in 2022. The main complaints from legislators: the administration approved the deliveries without consulting Congress; authorities did not provide the required legal justification for this step; senators believe that purchasing fuel directly helps finance Russia's military actions against Ukraine. The senators sent an official appeal to the White House demanding the immediate cancellation of this decision and a complete halt to imports.
