Trump Wins Russia Sanctions Bill With Bipartisan Support
The Republican led Congress passed a broad sanctions package against Russia plus penalties for Iran and North Korea. The measure, crafted amid Trump’s initial reluctance, cleared the House 419-3 and the Senate 98-2, setting limits on the president’s ability to ease sanctions without concessions from Vladimir Putin. The White House signaled intent to sign, while lawmakers highlighted Russia’s 2016 election meddling and tensions over Syria and Ukraine. Secretary Tillerson and Senate leaders urged enforcement, underscoring bipartisan intent to curb Moscow’s actions despite Trump’s mixed public stance.
