Energy Secretary Chris Wright tripped over his words when confronted over President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian crude oil—and whether it was effectively rewarding Vladimir Putin.
Wright appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where host Kristen Welker pressed him on the decision.
