Trump is ready to sign a law on sanctions for cooperation with Russia if he has the last word in making decisions on restrictions, Reuters reports, citing a senior White House official.
"It has always been important for the White House and the president that there be a provision in the sanctions package that guarantees the president the right to make a final decision on sanctions," his words are quoted in the material.
The source noted that Trump will sign the bill in this form if the corresponding condition is taken into account.
