Trump to examine tougher Russia sanctions bill, White House says

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

"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.
