Senators From Both Parties Move To Prevent Trump From Lifting Russia Sanctions

By Daniel Marans

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. The administration would then have to demonstrate that the Russian government had stopped supporting “significant acts intended to undermine the peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine” and ended all “cyberattacks” against the U.S. government or individual Americans.

Both houses of Congress would then have 120 days to reject the proposed sanctions relief, or otherwise “take action” on them, before the reductions in sanctions came into effect.
