Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) expressed support on Sunday for President Donald Trump’s recent decision to allow Russia to sell diesel fuel to the United States and global markets.

The two Republican figures have maintained an adversarial relationship throughout Trump’s second term, particularly over the White House’s handling of the Epstein files, the conflict in Iran, and federal spending. Massie was one of two House Republicans who voted against Trump’s signature legislative achievement, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and similarly stalled a Trump-backed stimulus bill during the COVID-19 pandemic.
