Diesel From Russia Is One Trump Plan Both Parties Are Criticising
The BBC reports that Trump's plan to import diesel from Russia is drawing growing backlash, with Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike criticising the deal. The announcement came weeks before the US midterm elections, which is the part that makes criticism from the president's own party worth watching: a plan that hands his opponents a talking point and his allies a reason to distance themselves in the same news cycle. The report does not say how the administration has responded.

Both parties criticising the same deal is the story here, more than the diesel. It's the rare complaint that can't be waved off as partisan noise.
The timing supplies its own motive. Criticism landing weeks before an election can be an election move as much as a verdict on the plan itself.
