WASHINGTON, July 24 (Xinhua) -- The White House on Sunday signalled that President Donald Trump would accept a new legislation that includes new sanctions against Russia, Iran and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"We support where the legislation is now, and will continue to work with the House and Senate to put those tough sanctions in place on Russia," said newly appointed White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a program on ABC Sunday.
U.S. Republicans and Democrats on Saturday reached agreement on the bill, which will also limit Trump's power of easing sanctions on Russia.
The bill came at a time when the Trump administration was under media fire over the Russia scandal.
According to the bill, Congress will have power to veto any decision made by the president that would "significantly alter" U.S. foreign policy in connection with Russia.
The House will vote on Tuesday and the Senate is likely to take it up after that.
The bipartisan agreement could send the new bill to Trump before Congress breaks for the August recess.
