- Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) announced Saturday he will introduce bipartisan legislation aimed at stopping Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian oil amid global fuel shortages.
- The proposed bill would block any and all purchases of Russian oil, per Fitzpatrick's statement, with the source's text cut off mid-announcement.
Why it matters: Fitzpatrick's bill frames lifting Russian oil sanctions as a bipartisan red line even as global fuel shortages create pressure for new supply sources. The announcement forces members of both parties to take a public stance on Russian crude before any formal administration action.
