US midterms could shift Congress's stance on Ukraine aid and Trump's Russia deals
Euromaidan Press reports that Donald Trump has waived sanctions on Moscow that Congress wrote into law. If Democrats win a majority in Congress after the 3 November elections, they could push back and restore aid to Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump has waived sanctions on Russia that Congress had written into law, according to Euromaidan Press, a outlet covering Russia's war in Ukraine.
The outlet says the Democratic Party could fight back after the 3 November US midterm elections, which decide the makeup of Congress. Its headline states that a Democratic win in Congress could restore American aid to Ukraine and curb Trump's deals with Russia.
Why it matters: Congress is the US legislature, and its composition affects both sanctions policy and support for Ukraine. The election outcome could therefore determine whether Washington's approach to Russia and Ukraine changes.
The available excerpt of the source gives no further detail, such as which sanctions were waived or how much aid is at stake.
