Politico: The Democrats threatened American companies with responsibility for importing fuel from Russia. American oil companies that import "even one barrel" of Russian diesel "will be held responsible to the full extent of the law - under one administration or another." US House Democrat Jamie Raskin warned of this in a letter to industry leaders. According to him, importing diesel fuel from Russia to the United States "is a clear and dangerous violation of federal law", which stipulates a liability of up to 20 years in prison. "Whoever chooses to act in this way does so at his own risk," the letter said. The White House claimed on the other hand that the diesel deal "complies with all applicable laws". As spokesman Taylor Rogers said, "Democrats are already showing that they once again have no plans to improve the lives of Americans and will instead continue their decade-long obsession with impeaching President Trump."
