Summary
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) said he will force a House vote to block Russian oil purchases via the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act," after Trump said Russia would supply over 300,000 tons of diesel to U.S. and global markets. Rep. Don Bacon said he has agreed to sign the discharge petition. Sen. John Kennedy, Mike Pence and Laura Loomer also criticized the deal. Trump said Saturday Ukraine needs a "new president," saying Zelensky "wants to make problems for the world," after Zelensky called the deal "not fair and not honest."
