WASHINGTON ― Six senators from both parties introduced a bill on Wednesday that would prevent President Donald Trump from easing sanctions on Russia without congressional approval.
The Russia Sanctions Review Act of 2017 would require the Trump administration to describe in detail for Congress any proposed sanctions relief.
