Trump approves Russia 🇷🇺 sanctions

🇺🇸 President Donald Trump signed ✏️ into law, a bill which imposes new sanctions on Russia 🇷🇺 for their alleged meddling 🔍 in the 2016 election.

The bill, which was signed ✏️ in private at the White House, also imposes sanctions on Iran 🇮🇷 and North Korea 🇰🇵.

The legislation "handcuffs" the 🇺🇸 president from easing penalties on Russia🇷🇺 without congressional approval.

Russia🇷🇺 denies interfering in the 🇺🇸 US election, and Trump has denied colluding with Russia🇷🇺.

In signing️ the Countering 🇺🇸 America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, Trump attached a statement, calling the sanctions "deeply flawed".

He accused Congress, which last week overwhelmingly passed the measure and sent it to the White House, of overstepping its constitutional authority‼️

"As president 🇺🇸, I can make far better deals with foreign countries 🌍 than Congress," he said, adding that they "could not even negotiate a healthcare 🏥 bill after seven years of talking".
