Republicans urge Trump to greenlight Russia sanctions vote after incursion into Poland

Republican senators are urging President Trump to give them the green light to vote on a Russia sanctions package in the wake of Moscow’s incursion into Poland’s air space and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s seeming disinterest in ending the war with Ukraine.

Senate Republicans have pushed for months for Trump to back the chamber’s bipartisan package that would punish nations that import Russian oil, gas and uranium, only to see it languish without his support.

That mood is changing.
