The US Congress has been empowered
to block any efforts by President Donald Trump to scale back sanctions against
Russia.
Report says, the power would allow
congress to strengthen those sanctions in retaliation for Moscow’s alleged
interference in the 2016 election and its actions in Syria.
The Senate voted yesterday to allow
Congress exercise the power. The vote of 97 to 2 is a sharp rebuke
to Trump’s posture on Russia and his resistance to the intelligence community’s
assessment that the country was behind efforts to influence the election he
won.
