The United States House of Representatives has passed a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia that was originally championed by the late Senator Graham. The legislation now heads to President Donald Trump for his signature after clearing Congress.
Political Reactions
Democrats begrudgingly handed Trump a victory on tariffs as part of this sprawling sanctions package. At the same time, some Republicans have expressed private fears that the new bill will give the president too much power regarding tariffs.
