Republican Rep.

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul says Trump has promised to sign the Russia sanctions bill if it clears the House. The House has passed the procedural rule allowing the measure to proceed to debate and a final vote. McCaul said he expects bipartisan support and described it as the strongest sanctions bill ever passed against Russia. He said the legislation would sanction Putin personally and impose strong tariffs on the five largest importers of Russian energy to pressure Moscow into negotiations.
