The proposal would give Congress more power to review and potentially block sanctions decisions made by the President against Russia, requiring additional congressional approval before certain sanctions actions can take effect. This would shift some control over Russia-related sanctions from the executive branch to lawmakers, affecting how the U.S. government responds to Russian actions through economic penalties. The change would impact businesses that trade with Russia, government officials who implement sanctions, and foreign policy decisions regarding U.S.-Russia relations.
