Donald Trump said he will sign legislation imposing sanctions on Russia that was passed by Congress this week as the president bows to the will of lawmakers furious over Moscow’s meddling in the election.
The White House said in a statement that the president had reviewed the final version of the bill and that “based on its responsiveness to his negotiations” he had decided to sign the law.
The decision represents a defeat for Mr Trump given the legislation curtails his ability to ease sanctions on Russia. But given the veto-proof majorities in favour of the legislation in both wings of Congress he had little choice but to fall in line.
