‘‘RUSSIA, IRAN, AND NORTH KOREA SANCTIONS ACT’’

Everyone is scared what the President will do to sanctions on Russia so congress is trying to pass a bill limiting what the President can do on sanctions without congressional approval.  There are also some new sanctions in the bill for Russia.

The Senate passed a sanctions bill 98 to 2.  The House passed a sanction bill 419 to 3.  There are moves to make the Senate version agree with the House.  The bill, hopefully, will be sent to the President this week.  The President has indicated he will sign it.  If he vetoes it, overriding the veto looks to be easy.
