NOTUS: “The House passed bipartisan legislation on Thursday leveling new economic sanctions on Russia and strengthening Ukraine’s defenses despite opposition from Republican leaders.”
“The measure passed by a vote of 226-195, with 18 Republicans and one independent joining Democrats in support. Coming a day after the House backed a measure to end the war with Iran, the Ukraine vote represented another challenge to President Donald Trump’s foreign policy approach.”
New York Times: “It now heads to the Senate, where Mr. Trump’s opposition has stopped similar attempts at new penalties on Russia and its allies. And even if it were to clear both chambers, it would likely be vetoed by the president, who has repeatedly balked at legislation that seeks to constrain his ability to negotiate on foreign policy matters.”
