Senate Panel Passes Bill To Impose Sanctions On Turkey; Delays Vote On Tough Russia Measures


(Worthy News) – A U.S. Senate committee has passed legislation with bipartisan support to hit Turkey with sanctions but refrained from voting on a controversial Russian sanctions bill.

It also approved legislation to help finance energy projects in Central and Eastern Europe with the goal of reducing the region’s dependence on Moscow and a bill that would require the Secretary of State to determine whether Russia should be labeled a state sponsor of terrorism.

The votes come a day after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met in Washington with President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the latter of whom said following his talks with Lavrov that he hoped to soon announce “significant progress” on economic relations with Moscow.
Trump, who has shown affinity for both Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin, has sought to delay imposing sanctions against their countries. [ Source (Read More…) ]
