GOP lawmakers threaten to pull support for president’s agenda after Russia diesel deal and sanctions pause
Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania congressman, told MS Now on Monday that the Trump administration had not given “sufficient answers” about the recent disruptions to Starshield and the diesel deal.
“This is wildly unacceptable, and it’s not going to stand,” Fitzpatrick said. “There’s going to be consequences to this. And by the way, it’s not just Starshield. It’s the diesel deal. It’s the lifting of sanctions. It’s all of this stuff.”
Fitzpatrick said lawmakers would “demand accountability” and that they could take “punitive budgetary action” to force the administration to provide answers.
