Trump UNDER FIRE After Waiving Russia Sanctions Law He Just Signed!!!

Описание: On September 18, President Trump signed the Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which passed the Senate 86 to 11 and the House 262 to 159. On October 16, two days before its new penalties were due to take effect, he waived them, certifying to Congress that it was in the national interest. Republicans and Democrats condemned the move. The Kremlin’s envoy called it historic. The White House says enforcing the sanctions now would get in the way of peace talks.

Here is the full story: the law, the Russian diesel deal, the clash with Zelenskyy, the waiver, the release of an American prisoner, and what Congress can do next.

The law itself allows a president to waive its penalties with a certification and a report to Congress. Existing sanctions from earlier executive orders remain in place.
