Democrats and Republicans failed to reach agreement on new sanctions against the Russian Federation. On Saturday, the Congress completed work on a bill that will deal another blow to the Russian economy.
After a long discussion the text of the document was approved by both chambers of Congress on Tuesday will put it to a vote. If approved, the bill will reach the President’s Desk soon.
With the help of the bill, the congressmen want to punish the Russian Federation for intervention in last year’s elections and the military aggression against Ukraine and Syria. As planned earlier, the economic measures against Russia, Iran has combined into one package. In addition, the document takes Donald trump right to soften or lift sanctions. Their decisions he will have to confirmation by the Senate and House of representatives.
Members of Congress came to a bipartisan agreement, fearing that the President can change the policy in relation to the Kremlin and to mitigate economic punishment. The reason for such assumptions was the meeting trump and Putin at the G20 summit, during which the US leader expressed his willingness to restore the relationship.
