"The White House is weak on Russia. There is a moral blindness when it comes to Russia. Over two-thirds of Americans find it repulsive. This action helps financially prop up Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This sustains Russia's invasion."
"Trump is taking decisive steps to promote stability in global energy markets and working to keep prices low as we address the threat and instability posed by the terrorist Iranian regime. To increase the global reach of existing supply, @USTreasury is providing a temporary authorization to permit countries to purchase Russian oil currently stranded at sea."
The Trump administration lifted sanctions on Russian oil, allowing countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea as a temporary measure to stabilize global energy markets and prevent price shocks. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent justified the decision, claiming it applies only to oil already in transit and provides minimal financial benefit to Russia since most energy revenue comes from extraction taxes. Rep. Don Bacon, a retiring Republican congressman and retired Air Force general, strongly opposed the move, accusing the White House of being weak on Russia and morally blind to Russian aggression. Bacon argued the action financially supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine and noted that over two-thirds of Americans find such policies repulsive. This continues a pattern of Trump administration sanctions relief for Russia during the ongoing war.
