US Senate will no longer delay bill on tough sanctions against Russia, - Graham
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that a bipartisan bill on tough sanctions against Russia will no longer be postponed after US President Donald Trump supported the initiative.
He said this on Fox News, according to Censor.NET.
"It's never going back on the shelf because President Trump believes he needs it," Graham said, commenting on the future of the sanctions package.
Although the bill has not yet been submitted to the Senate for consideration, a White House official confirmed to Fox News that Donald Trump supports this legislation.
At the same time, consideration of the document is being held up due to a procedural dispute in Congress. Senate Majority Leader John Thune insists that the initiative must first pass the House of Representatives, while Graham demands that consideration begin in the upper house.
As the publication notes, passing the bill through the House of Representatives could take much longer than senators are willing to wait.
