The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of a wide-ranging sanctions package aimed at Russia, according to NOS. The approval follows passage in the other chamber of Congress, Dutch broadcaster NOS reports, meaning the measure now goes to President Trump, who must still sign it before it becomes law.
NOS describes the package as substantial in scope. Other Dutch outlets covering the vote include NRC, NU.nl, BNR and Het Financieele Dagblad, all of which reported that the House backed the plan and that the decision now rests with the president. BNR carried the development in its live blog on Ukraine, while Het Financieele Dagblad framed the move as Congress seeking to impose tougher measures on Moscow.
The reports do not detail the specific provisions of the package, the margin of the vote, or when the president might act on it. What is clear from the coverage is that both chambers of the US Congress have now approved the measure, leaving only the president's signature before it takes effect.
The next step is Trump's decision on whether to sign the legislation.
