Prominent Democrat calls out Biden admin for missing deadline to further sanction Russia over Navalny poisoning
CNN
The Biden administration has missed a deadline by more than a month to impose legally required sanctions on Russia for the poisoning of opposition activist Alexey Navalny, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Tuesday.
"The administration has yet to impose congressionally mandated sanctions in response to the attempted murder of anti-corruption activist Alexey Navalny, as required under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Act," said Sen. Robert Menendez during a nominations hearing for several State Department and USAID nominees. "These sanctions were due on June the second." Menendez pointed out that while these sanctions have been pending since the Trump administration, neither administration has acted on them.More Related News
