Russia Sanctions Bill Trump Has Resisted to Soon Get Senate Vote

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is ready to bring to a vote legislation imposing sanctions on countries that trade with Russia, a move to put economic pressure on Vladimir Putin even after President Donald Trump announced plans to soon meet the Russian leader.

“I don’t want to commit to a hard deadline, but it will be soon,” Thune said Thursday, adding that he would schedule a vote in the “next 30 days.”
