The Russians were warned for six to seven weeks, which were out of development, about 80 co -Autors of the penalty bill would appear in the Senate.
State secretary Marco Rubio said that without the development of Russian negotiations, Congress will accept the bill. He said this on Saturday, May 17, in an interview with Face the Nation.
Rubio said the Trump administration asked the Senate to give him a little time to see if the development of peace negotiations was achieved.
The head of the State Department is mentioned that within six to seven weeks, the White House “is clearly making Russia’s side to understand that this initiative (introduction of penalties. – Ed.) Is advanced.”
“We informed the Russians that this process was already launched. We hope that when everything is completed, the bill will have about 80 co -Authors in the Senate, and I think about a similar level of support in the House of Representative. We explained that this is an initiative that we cannot control and control,” Rubio said.
Eventually, he added, Congress, especially Republicans in the House of Representative and Senate, tried to give President Trump a space and time for him to reach some agreements.
“However, over and over again, almost two months, warned the Russians that it would happen without developing. And I think it was starting to be realized today. And this is one of the things I have confirmed this week, with Lindsay Graham in Turkey: they (the Republicans -Ed.) 77 signatures. He believes they can reach 80 or more.
Remember that on Saturday, a conversation on the phone of state secretary Marco Rubio and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, where the American side introduced Russia as a “strong peace plan” at the end of the war in Ukraine.
Also on Saturday, Donald Trump announced negotiations with the President of the Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, Russian Federation leader Vladimir Putin, as well as representatives of NATO member countries.
