A bipartisan group of seven senators led by Jeanne Shaheen, a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued a statement saying US President Trump's decision to allow the import of Russian diesel was illegal. Congress has explicitly banned the import of Russian energy in 2022 to cut off Putin's sources of funding for the war. These senators believe that Trump's decision directly conflicts with the 2022 law. The senators demanded that the government immediately change its position on importing Russian diesel.
