The US Senate is considering a sanctions bill against Russia after President Donald Trump hit Moscow’s energy sector with penalties. Bipartisan authors of the bill, Sens. Graham and Blumenthal, want Congress to act, citing the need for a coordinated effort to pressure Putin. The White House has been working with them to iron out technical issues, but plans for a summit meeting between Trump and Putin collapsed. Now, advocates are pushing for the Senate to pass the sanctions bill, which has over 80 cosponsors.
