EU Faces Dilemma: to Stand Tall Or Kneel

The White House indicated that President Donald Trump would sign a sweeping Russia sanctions measure, which the House could take upon as soon as July 25, that requires him to get Congress' permission before lifting or easing the economic penalties against Russia. Sarah Sanders, the White House Press Secretary, announced on July 23 that the administration supported the new language of the bill and suggested that President Donald Trump would sign it. The punitive measures against Russia come as part of the Countering Iran’s Destabilizing Activities Act, targeting not only Tehran, but also North Korea. The measure seeks to impose new sanctions on major sectors of the Russian economy.
