House, Senate reach deal on Russia sanctions, will vote Tuesday
Negotiators from the House and Senate have come to an agreement on Russia sanctions after securing overwhelming support in the Senate but stalling in the House.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, announced Saturday morning that a vote on the Russia, Iran and North Korea Sanctions Act would take place Tuesday.
McCarthy said in a statement that he had been working with Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland "for weeks" on a deal. McCarthy added that he was "pleased that both parties in the House and Senate have reached agreement on sanctions legislation that will hold Russia and Iran accountable for their destabilizing actions around the world."
