Trump signs sanctions bill to hit Russia

- BY JACK BLANCHARD Political Editor

DONALD Trump has grudgingly signed a bill imposing tough new sanctions on Russia, but said it was “significan­tly flawed”.

Republican-controlled Congress approved the legislatio­n, which also hits Iran and North Korea, by such a large margin he had little choice but to agree.

But he said Congress must “refrain from using this flawed bill to hinder our important work with European allies to resolve the conflict in Ukraine”.

Trump also announced he was backing a Senate bill that would overhaul the green card system and reduce legal immigratio­n.

And in a interview with the Wall Street Journal, the President declared that he wanted a “major” trade deal with Britain.
