PUBLIC RECORD
On October 11, four Republican senators and two Democratic senators asked the administration to reverse its Russian diesel plan immediately. They said the purchase conflicts with the 2022 ban on Russian energy imports and was announced without the explanation required by law. Trump said Russia would initially supply more than 300,000 tons. Energy experts told AP that the total volume might have little effect on prices.
