- Trump waived recent sanctions on Russia, prompting top Republicans and Democrats on Saturday to condemn the decision as "irresponsible" and "a deal with the devil."
- Congress is already preparing a separate bipartisan effort to overturn Trump's Russian diesel deal when lawmakers return from recess.
Why it matters: Trump now faces bipartisan opposition to two distinct Russia policy moves at once — the sanctions waiver and the diesel deal — meaning coordinated pushback from both parties awaits him when Congress returns to session.
