What are the different opinions on the impact of the Russian diesel deal on our country's policies and relationships?

President Trump's deal to lift sanctions on Russia to increase diesel supplies "is a betrayal of the people of Ukraine" and "a gift to our adversary," a bipartisan coalition of senators wrote in a letter admonishing the agreement. Why it matters: The decision to turn to Vladimir Putin in an attempt to ease the diesel crunch is piling onto Republican headaches ahead of the midterms and fueling fresh friction between the U.S. and Ukraine. What they're saying: The deal "will not achieve just ends, nor will it benefit Americans," the senators warned, urging Trump to withdraw from it and ramp up the economic pressure on Russia as called for in a sanctions bill named for the late Sen.

The White House did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. Zoom out: That bipartisan coalition has fellow dissenters on the Hill, including members of the president's party who swiftly condemned the deal. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) vowed over the weekend to force a vote to block Russian oil purchases, predicting that "it will pass overwhelmingly."Retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) told Axios' Andrew Solender he "alread
