US Republicans Criticize Trump-Putin Diesel Deal, Call Putin 'Butcher'

Republican lawmakers in both chambers of the U.S. Congress have publicly criticized the Trump-Putin agreement on Russian diesel supply, with some calling Putin a 'butcher.' This marks a notable intra-party rift over U.S.-Russia policy, potentially complicating the administration's diplomatic stance. The criticism signals political friction but does not yet indicate a policy reversal.
