WASHINGTON (Sputnik), Andrew Feinberg — On Monday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker told reporters that legislation designed to hinder Trump’s ability to lift sanctions on Russia could soon get a hearing.
“I’ve had no contact with the Trump Administration at all on any foreign policy issues, including Russia,” Cardin said on Tuesday when asked if the president had reached out to discuss the Russia sanctions legislation.
On Sunday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the Trump Administration had not yet made any decision on the possibility of lifting sanctions against Russia.
Putin and Trump held their first official phone conversation on Saturday, during which they discussed the situation in the Middle East, counterterrorism efforts, non-proliferation, the Iranian nuclear program, Ukraine, and North Korea.
