Trump faces backlash after pausing Russian sanctions

President Trump running into growing backlash from both political parties after he put new sanctions on Russia on hold. The president says he's making progress towards ending the war in Ukraine. But his latest move is raising questions about how much pressure he's willing to put on Vladimir Putin. Russia hit 10 Ukrainian energy facilities during the night. It comes after President Trump is defending his decision to ease up on the pressure on Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky is warning the United States against taking sides with Russia. The United States will take, officially, will take the side of Russia. Of course, if these two countries will be together, of course, of course we will not prevail. Now, the sanctions were designed to pressure Russia to end its war against Ukraine. But the White House insists that reducing restrictions could help bring Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. Lawmakers are pushing for answers, but with Congress out until after election day, any effort to revert the decision by President Trump would have to wait.
