WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement after incoming White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci told CNN this morning that President Trump may veto sanctions on Russia that have overwhelming, bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. “He may veto the sanctions and negotiate an even tougher deal against the Russians,” Scaramucci said this morning.
“The President would be making a grave mistake if he vetoes sanctions on Russia that have passed Congress with an overwhelming, veto-proof majority,” said Senator Coons. “The idea that President Trump will negotiate tougher sanctions isn't credible.”
