Democratic senator and co-author of the sanctions bill against Russia and Iran, Blumenthal, hopes for the bill’s final passage in September. He said this during a briefing in response to a question from Suspilne. He added that the bill has strong support among Republicans and could gain support from Democrats.
“This is a plan and a set of measures that can win a majority in the House of Representatives. It will be extraordinarily effective — both in secondary sanctions and in direct sanctions against oligarchs, financial institutions, related industries, and the shadow fleet,” Blumenthal emphasized.
He explained that the delay in passage was related to the need to get “the green light” from the White House after lengthy negotiations with the U.S. trade representative and the leadership of both parties.
