Schumer: Strong Russia Sanctions Bill “Essential”

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today released the below statement regarding the bipartisan agreement on Russia sanctions legislation:

“Given the many transgressions of Russia, and President Trump’s seeming inability to deal with them, a strong sanctions bill such as the one Democrats and Republicans have just agreed to is essential. I expect the House and Senate will act on this legislation promptly, on a broad bipartisan basis and send the bill to the President’s desk.”
