Congressman Praises Bill Preventing Trump From Rolling Back Sanctions on Russia

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi released the following statement
following the House’s passage of legislation placing new sanctions on
Russia, Iran, and North Korea that would prevent President Trump from unilaterally rolling back sanctions on Russia:

“I’m heartened that Republicans and Democrats stood together shoulder
to shoulder to prevent the President from unilaterally rolling back
sanctions on Russia. In addition to maintaining the important
constitutional oversight role of Congress and preventing concessions to
the Kremlin, this legislation helps ensure that Iran and North Korea
will be held accountable for their human rights abuses.”
