Trump supports bill on sanctions against Russia's partner countries

On November 16, US President Donald Trump announced that he supported the initiative of members of Congress to impose serious sanctions on states that continue to cooperate with Russia, and suggested that Iran could be included in the list.

"It suits me fine. Republicans are proposing a bill providing for very tough sanctions for any country doing business with Russia, and they can include Iran there," Trump said.

The American leader stressed that the idea to add restrictions on Iran to the document came from him personally.
