Rep. Doggett previously uncovered that the Trump Administration granted a tariff exemption to Rusal USA. "President Trump is sliding another big gift under Vladimir Putin's Christmas Tree: lifting sanctions on Russian aluminum producer Rusal. Administration endorsement of what appears to be a shell game brokered by a sanctioned Russian bank, VTB Bank, involving one of Putin's closest buddies, Oleg Deripaska, only encourages Putin to pursue his destabilizing activities around the world. If, after Congressional review, this is what it appears—a Rusal ruse—then we should reject this latest Trump scam." Follow Lloyd Doggett | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:11:43Z |
