The US Congress will not consider new sanctions against Russia until Trump expires.
US Congress spokesman Mike Johnson believes that the United States Congress should not consider the bills of new penalties against Russia until 50 days provided by President Donald Trump. Johnson said this at a press conference on Tuesday, July 22, reported Reuters.
“I think the House of Representative and the Senate is in agreement that, given that the White House provided this 50 days, we need to allow the commander to the leader, the administration, the minister of the defense and the Pentagon to do what they will do and we will see how it will be,” Johnson said.
At the same time, he noted that he did not want further US intervention in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“We need peace there. All of this lasts too long. Many innocent people died. And we don’t want to get more interfering with America,” Mike Johnson said.
According to Reuters, some members of Congress continue to assert a stronger penalty against Russia, in particular, in adopting a bill to a 500 percent duty to goods from Russian oil buying countries. They decided to postpone this bill after Trump announced his Russian ultimatum, threatening to introduce a 100 percent fee to Russian trading partners.
Republicans in the same Chamber of Congress said they would not submit to the vote of a single bill for penalties without Trump’s approved.
As reported, the Bill of Graham and Blmental in sanctions against the Russian Federation received 82 votes in the US Senate a few months ago, and, if adopted, Russia should be a trading island.
However, on July 14, Trump promised to introduce “very strict tariffs” against Russia if a worldwide agreement in Ukraine did not reach 50 days. After that, Graham warned Putin against repeating mistakes in Iran.
