“We will win this vote by an overwhelming majority,” an unnamed senior aide to one of the Republican senators was quoted as saying.

Politico reminds that for the adoption of the bill, which introduced Republican Ted Cruz needs 60 votes, and therefore the support of at least ten Democrats. There are 100 senators in the House: 50 from the Republican Party and 50 from the Democratic Party.

Edition confirmsthat senators will vote on the sanctions bill by January 14. The document provides for the entry into force of the sanctions within 15 days after the final approval of the law.

According to the procedure adopted in the United States, after approval by the Senate, the bill will go to the House of Representatives, and then – for signature by the President, after which it will become law.
