Sanctions (Executive Session)
The Senate met in executive session to consider a bill imposing sanctions on Russia and Iran. Senator Risch, a Republican, spoke in support, saying the bill was the product of a long bipartisan effort and that sanctions on Russia would help stop shipments of oil used to fund the war in Ukraine, while pressure on both Russia and Iran would support peace efforts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Senate then moved toward a vote on the bill.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
