US Congress Prone to Embarrassing Gaffe

Republican and Democratic Congressional leaders have reached an agreement on The Countering Iran's Destabilizing Activities Act – the broad sanctions legislation that allows for new sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea. The package «punishes» Russia for alleged meddling in the U.S. presidential elections and for its policy on Ukraine and actions in Syria. It institutes new sanctions on certain Russian industries, such as mining, metals, shipping and railways, and paves the way for possible new sanctions on individuals.
