The U.S. Congress has enough majority to impose severe sanctions on Russia - Rubio.
The U.S. Secretary of State said that the Senate has gathered enough votes to pass a new round of sanctions bill against Russia, even without the participation of the White House.
He pointed out that Senator Lindsey Graham has obtained about 80 co-sponsors, and there is also strong support in the House of Representatives. If there is no progress in the negotiations with Russia, the Senate will "be forced to take action," Rubio added.
As reported by Bloomberg previously, Trump may warn Putin in their phone call that he cannot stop the passage of the sanctions bill. The bill proposed by Graham will impose a tariff of up to 500% on imports from countries purchasing oil, natural gas, or uranium from Russia.
