Friday's criticism comes in a statement from Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer and his two closest Senate Democrats:

"Russia reportedly provides Iran with intelligence to find and kill American soldiers - the Trump administration responds by easing the pressure and helping Russia get an additional $150 million every day for its war machine."

The US is temporarily easing sanctions to mitigate the effects of rising oil prices. This is what Democrats are reacting to:

"President Trump is offering more relief to the Kremlin than he is to American families, who are now paying more at the gas pump... because of the conflict."
