Angus King: “I hope we are learning something from this experience.”

This so-called deal with Russia will do little for America and much for Vladimir Putin as he seeks to sustain his murderous campaign on Ukraine.

At the end of the day, this deal from the White House is an attempt to boost their short-term political prospects at the true cost of the American people.

Adding insult to injury, today’s deal is a slap in the face to every member of Congress who voted for the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act just last month.

Today’s call with President Zelenskyy and a bipartisan group of members of both the Senate and the House was welcome, informative, and couldn’t have been more important.
