Euro leaders angry at new US Russia sanctions. They also hit snag in senate

[hater]

Surprising the euro slaves are finally rebelling against their master

Lets see where this will go but at least they are showing some kind of pushback which is refreshing

Meanwhile the sanctions bill also hit snag in the senate. The bill might not make it to Trumps desk before august reces

Then with the world outrage who knows if the bill which was unanimously passed by Congress will make it at all



"But after the House voted on Tuesday, 419 to 3, to impose sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea, supporters seemed confident that the legislation would reach President Trump’s desk in short order. It would force Mr. Trump into an uncomfortable choice, beneath the cloud of Russia-flecked scandal: whether to sign a bill his team has opposed or to honor Moscow’s wishes by seeking to scuttle the efforts of a Republican-led Congress.

The Senate seemed an unlikely source of further bottlenecking. Last month, the chamber passed a similar package of sanctions against Russia and Iran nearly unanimously. But after House leaders from both parties and Senate Democrats cheered an agreement last weekend to break the impasse — in part by including House-led sanctions against North Korea — Senate Republicans were more reserved."

"The EU also warned it was ready “to act to protect European interests” if the sanctions legislation damaged the blocs dealings with the Russian energy sector. Brussels is concerned that the new sanctions will adversely affect European firms as well as oil and gas projects on which the EU states rely.

France’s foreign ministry declared the sanctions appear to be illegal under international law while a German foreign ministry spokesman accused Washington of carrying out industrial policy under the guise of sanctions – something Berlin “could not accept”.

"The US bill could have unintended unilateral effects that impact the EU's energy security interests," said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

"If our concerns are not taken into account sufficiently, we stand ready to act appropriately within a matter of days. 'America First' cannot mean that Europe's interests come last," Juncker threatened, mentioning President Donald Trump's guiding slogan."

“This is about putting the President [Trump] back in his box. It is a fight between the Democrats, the Republicans in Congress, and the executive branch in the White House. At the moment, the President is not in a very strong place – he could almost certainly not see his veto carried through on this bill, and may end up in a very, very weak position,”

This could, however, turn into a conflict between the US and the EU, as the sanctions go against the interests of many European states.

“The EU is very, very strong trading body in its own rights. It may choose to work round the American sanctions and deal directly, particularly on energy with Russia. That will bring them into conflict with the US, and that hasn’t happened for quite a long time at this scale and at this level. But it may be a case of having to,” Shanahan said.
