Days after a nearly unanimous House vote to revoke normal trade relations with Russia, the Senate GOP is refusing to pass the bill unless it's paired with another that bans Russian oil
Mere days after all but eight House members voted to revoke normal trade relations with Russia — a whopping total in the bitterly divided chamber — its path through the Senate is already looking complicated.
“We are negotiating and my hope is that we will merge the two House bills,” said Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee. “The House voted for both bills with over 400 votes. And that kind of bipartisan agreement is still in existence over here on both bills.” Going further still, Crapo vowed he would try to amend any effort from Democrats to move the trade bill on its own.
Despite their demands, Republicans remain supportive of revoking trade relations with Moscow and chalked up the partisan disputes to a matter of process.
