Thom Tillis Warns Trump’s Russian Diesel Deal May Violate the Law

Описание: Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, said President Donald Trump’s deal to lift sanctions on Russian diesel may violate federal law, raising questions about whether the president can make such a change without congressional approval.

During Sunday’s Meet the Press on NBC, host Kristen Welker pointed to a 2022 Senate vote in which lawmakers unanimously supported banning Russian oil imports until Russia met certain conditions, including withdrawing from Ukraine. She noted that the law requires changes to the restrictions to go through Congress and asked Tillis whether Trump’s deal violated that requirement.

“I believe that he may be,” Tillis responded, indicating that he believed there was a legitimate legal question surrounding the president’s action. He also said he planned to release a statement with Sen. Shaheen on the matter, if it had not already been published.

Tillis warned that easing pressure on Russia could have serious consequences for the war in Ukraine and Euro
