Two Republicans just turned Reagan's name against Trump's Russia oil deal

And here's the gap in his own claim. He's calling this bipartisan. Right now, zero Democrats have agreed to co-sponsor it.

And the clock is a real problem. The current term of the House ends in January. That's a few months to introduce a bill, collect 218 signatures, and pass it. All of it.

Fitzpatrick and Bacon aren't alone either.

Rep Michael McCaul, who used to chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee, says lifting sanctions will fund the Kremlin's war machine. He says it's emboldening more violence and destruction.

Senator Lisa Murkowski wants Trump to use the sanctions powers he already has, instead of easing them.

And here's the thing. Congress already passed a law for exactly this.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, says Congress banned Russian energy imports back in 2022. She says the administration can't just get around that law.

That 2022 law passed the Senate 100 to nothing. It passed the House 413 to 9.

But whether it actually covers this new diesel arrangement? Nobody has settled that.

Senator Richard Blumenthal helped write a separate Russia sanctions law. Trump signed it three weeks ago. Blumenthal is calling the new diesel deal an embarrassment, and wants Trump to cancel it.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it a deal with the devil.

Senator Angus King did the maths. He says the volume in this deal covers about one day of US diesel use. He's calling the whole thing a fraud.

Trump hasn't responded to the bill directly.

So where does this leave it? Fitzpatrick says his bill will pass overwhelmingly once it reaches the floor.

Right now, it doesn't have one Democratic name on it. And the House has only a few months left to vote on anything at all.
