Twelve senators urge Trump to rescind Russian diesel sanctions waiver

Twelve senators, six Republicans and six Democrats, sent a letter urging President Trump to rescind Treasury's General License No. 135, which waived sanctions on Russian diesel exports to allow imports of up to 2.2 million tons, the Hill reported. The senators called the deal "a gift to our adversary and a betrayal of our Allies," saying it would help finance Russia's war in Ukraine while offering little relief on U.S. fuel prices.
