Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday evening praised Congress for agreeing to include sanctions against Russia in a bill sanctioning Iran over ballistic missile testing.

“By codifying existing sanctions and requiring Congressional review of any decision to weaken or lift them, we are ensuring that the United States continues to punish President Putin for his reckless and destabilizing actions,” Schumer said in a statement. “These additional sanctions will also send a powerful and bipartisan statement to Russia and any other country who might try to interfere in our elections that they will be punished.”
