At the request of President Donald Trump, the bill extends sanctions on Iran&#8217;s weapons and energy sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the vote, Sen.

Reps. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., and Don Beyer, D-Va., on Friday said in a statement they too are concerned about the tariff authority the measure would give the president. They also noted Trump already has the legal ability to impose sanctions on Russian leaders and other nations should he choose to do so. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=1632\">Burger King overtakes Wendy\u2019s as the nation\u2019s second-largest burger chain<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A measure to impose new sanctions on Russian oil purchasers easily cleared the Senate and heads to the House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1637,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
