Democratic leaders in the US Senate have sharply criticized President Donald Trump’s agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding oil supplies, labeling it a betrayal of Ukraine, European allies, and US security interests. Led by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, they released a joint statement denouncing the deal as a desperate arrangement with a “murderous dictator.” Trump announced the agreement with Moscow on Friday, detailing plans for deliveries of at least 300,000 tons of oil to the American and global markets. The Democrats argue the deal undermines efforts to counter Russian aggression and weakens transatlantic alliances. They express concern over supporting a regime accused of hostile actions and disregard for international norms. The agreement raises questions about the Trump administration’s foreign policy priorities and its commitment to protecting US national security.
