WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to slap new sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea, despite President Donald Trump's objections to the legislation.
As voting continued, the Senate backed the measure by a margin of 76-1, with strong support from Trump's fellow Republicans as well as Democrats. The bill will now be sent to the White House for Trump to sign into law or veto.
