Block the Russia Diesel Deal and Hold Trump Accountable

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Casar, Sen. Cruz

From: A constituent in Manor, TX

October 12

Block Trump's diesel deal with Russia. This agreement funnels American money directly into Putin's war machine while Ukraine bleeds, and it won't even lower prices at the pump. Energy analyst Michael Lynch at the Energy Policy Research Foundation has made this clear: if the US buys Russian diesel, Russia's existing customers simply buy from elsewhere, keeping prices exactly where they are. Trump caused this crisis by dragging America into an eight-month war in the Middle East that has nearly doubled diesel prices — and now his solution is to enrich the regime invading a democratic ally. This is corruption dressed up as policy. Russia has rejected every ceasefire proposal while continuing to bomb Ukrainian civilians and energy infrastructure. Cutting a backroom deal with Putin doesn't just fail Americans at the gas station — it prolongs a war of aggression and rewards the aggressor. You need to do everything in your power to block this deal, and then go further: push for legislation that prevents any future president from unilaterally entering into energy agreements with sanctioned regimes without congressional approval. No president should ever be able to pull something like this again.
