President Donald Trump’s deal with Moscow on its diesel exports and his praise for Vladimir Putin are just the latest in a string of Russia-related news that has sparked public criticisms from Republicans weeks ahead of a midterm election that increasingly favors Democrats.

Trump has said he is working with the Russian president to release the country’s diesel supplies into global markets, upending years of sanctions in a bid to ease fuel prices before the Nov. 3 elections. The move has prompted European officials to warn that increasing Russia’s diesel sales will boost Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine.
