House passes broad Russia sanctions bill and forwards it to President Trump

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a sweeping sanctions package targeting Russia and sent the measure to President Donald Trump for signature. The legislation is presented as a tribute to Senator Lindsey Graham, whose name is attached to the bill. While the bill aims to tighten economic pressure on Moscow, some Republican lawmakers voiced private concerns that it could hand the president extra authority over tariff decisions. Democratic leaders initially opposed the measure, but ultimately relented, allowing the bill to move forward despite their reservations. The vote clears a major hurdle, but the final outcome now depends on the president’s response.
