Trump waives Russia sanctions passed by Congress
Trump said Russia would immediately supply more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons immediately thereafter.
A dozen US senators, including six Republicans, called on Trump to rescind his diesel deal.
Darline Graham has Trump's endorsement and is expected to campaign with him in South Carolina.
“So that’s up to him as to whether or not he wants to use it, or whether he wants to use something else, but I think the purpose of it is to bring down the gas prices and ultimately end the war. And when the war ends, gas prices will fall.”
DARLINE GRAHAM
