Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs A. Wess Mitchell shot down Democratic Senator Ben Cardin’s (MD) assertion on Tuesday that President Donald Trump has been weak on Russia by reminding him that the president has been behind all the actions the U.S. has taken against Russia since taking office.
Cardin complained that Trump, as the head of the executive branch, can exercise sole discretion of potential actions or sanctions against Russia.
