At the same time candidate Trump publicly urged sanctions relief for Russia, he was privately putting together a business deal in Moscow that required lifting US sanctions. Then President Trump and his confederates misled the country about it, in a way that left him compromised.
What Trump neglected to mention about his support for dropping sanctions on Russia was that he had a massive business deal in the works that required financing from a sanctioned bank.
Because two more Republican senators wouldn't cross over and vote to stop the lifting of those sanctions on Oleg Deripaska, the Trump administration is about to gift him hundreds of millions of dollars.
TRUMP: 'I hear [Ilhan] Omar put in a sanctions bill against Israel, and other things beyond sanctions. So when I hear that -- you just can't talk about our country that way.'
Does Trump ... does he think he's president of Israel?
Palestinians are treated as an inferiour race. Denied access to food and water. And yet no sanctions on Israel for its apartheid regime. Utter hypocrisy.
Senator Lee appeased Putin by opposing sanctions, flying to the Kremlin to discuss lifting sanctions, and defending the withholding of military for Ukrainians as they fought for their freedom. Lee abandoned our values and helped make the world less safe. Please share our new ad:
This morning, I met with my G7 counterparts to discuss President Putin’s unjustified attack on Ukraine and we agreed to move forward on devastating packages of sanctions and other economic measures to hold Russia to account. We stand with the brave people of Ukraine.

Mass protests are happening across Europe against high food and energy prices and the sanctions on Russia that are crippling European economies. Yet the media continues to turn a blind eye to this.
