President Trump issued a new demand on Wednesday for lawmakers to amend a Russia sanctions bill, requesting additional authorities to impose tariffs on Iran. This move is likely to complicate the legislation's path forward as it heads to a vote in the House. Democrats, while largely supporting the bill, have already expressed concerns about the expansive tariff powers it would grant the president. The bill, named for Senator Lindsey Graham, aims to impose sanctions on Russia but now faces potential delays or revisions due to Trump's new conditions.
