U.S. President Donald Trump intends to sign a bill that imposes sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea, the White House said in a statement late on Friday, July 28, Reuters reports.

Trump was to examine whether the bill toughening sanctions on Russia is offering the "best deal" for the American people, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Monday, July 24.

"He's going to study that legislation and see what the final product looks like," Sanders told reporters during a briefing on Air Force One, when asked whether Trump would support the legislation.

The Kremlin on Monday warned that new U.S. sanctions on Russia would hit the interests of both sides as Congress gears up to approved fresh punitive measures.
