U.S. senators want say on any Trump Russia sanctions action
By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - (This February 8 story has been refiled to correct word in name of bill to review from relief in second paragraph.) Senior U.S. senators called on Wednesday for the right to review any move the White House might make to ease sanctions on Russia, amid mounting concern in Congress - and among U.S. allies - that President Donald Trump will be too conciliatory toward Moscow. The lawmakers, led by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat Ben Cardin, introduced "The Russia Sanctions Review Act of 2017," modeled on a 2015 bill that let Congress review the Iran nuclear agreement signed by then-President Barack Obama.
