Political scientist Abbas Galiamov talks about two bills that the US Congress is trying to block Trump's diesel agreement with Russia "Both bills are currently being debated in committees. The issue did not come up for a vote in the full House of Representatives, and the House will only convene on November 9. However, it is worth remembering that even when he announced his initiative, [Republican Congressman Brian] Fitzpatrick promised to use a special parliamentary procedure - a discharge petition, which allows the bill to be put to a vote bypassing the House leadership if the corresponding demand is signed by 218 members of Congress. This is especially important given that the House of Representatives is still controlled by Republicans and its leadership may not want to bring to a vote a document that directly contradicts the president's policies. Let me remind you that the new composition of the Congress, which has every chance of being democratic, will only meet in January." read more
