INTRO: The Trump administration continues to face backlash after a recent series of actions towards Russia.

ACK: Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA)

TAG: Russia says the first tanker carrying Russia diesel fuel to the U-S is on its way … but critics from both parties say the deal is illegal and provides more funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
