Tensions between Russia and the Senate are rising after President Donald Trump's latest outreach to Putin
Tensions between Russia and the Senate are rising after President Donald Trump's latest outreach to Moscow, with the Kremlin barring senators in both parties from visiting and Democrats urging Trump to keep Russia out of the G-7.
“Unfortunately, the Russian government is further isolating their country by blocking our visit and several others in recent months,” Murphy said. “ With the collapse of recent arms control agreements and significant domestic opposition to Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian rule, this is potentially a perilous moment for our two nations’ fragile relationship.”
"We can’t ignore Russia or stop dealing with them but we should do so with clear eyes. But it’s something we need to talk to other members states as well," he told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday. "I don’t know about what the rationale is about now, none of the behavior that got them kicked out of the G8 has changed."
