US President Donald Trump said on Sunday (November 16) that Republicans are working on legislation that will impose sanctions on any country doing business with Russia, and he said Iran may get added to that list, Reuters reports.
"Well, I hear they're doing that, and that's okay with me. They're passing legislation or putting -- the Republicans are putting in legislation that -- very tough. It's sanctioning, et cetera, et cetera, on any country doing business with Russia. They may add Iran to that, as you know. I suggested it. So, any country that does business with Russia will be very severely sanctioned. We may add Iran to the formula," Trump stated.
Some U.S. senators are renewing a push to get a long-stalled bipartisan sanctions bill to Trump's desk. The bill would slap tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil and gas and impose sanctions on international firms that do business with Russia's energy sector.
