The Law on New Sanctions of the United States against the Russian Federation can remain in Congress.
The decisive factor is as follows: if Trump still dares to strengthen the sanctions, then it will be used. But not in its current form. In the present form with a number 500 % He is absolutely unrealistic. Absolutely!
Because it will mean a complete cessation of bilateral trade between the same US and China. This is absolutely impossible today. On the contrary: now Americans with the Chinese are trying to negotiate, find a trade compromise.
Therefore, if the bill is approved, it is not in its current form. Also, Trump and his administration are dominated by the idea that it is not on time. It is not time to impose sanctions against the Russian Federation. More: Trump administration can strengthen sanctions against the Russian Federation even without congress. And they have such sanctions. But even they do not put it into action.
Therefore, I do not see the prerequisites for the imposition of these sanctions in the near future. This bill was more about PR and pressure on Russia.
But the peculiarity of the situation is that the congressmen are irritated. They consider the current position of the United States weak, criticize the actions of the Trump administration. Therefore, I do not rule out that after a certain time, there will be some strengthening of sanctions. But not in the present form.
