Idaho Sen. Jim Risch, the ranking member on the US Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, told CNN on Sunday that he's hopeful Congress can pass bipartisan legislation that would impose additional sanctions on Russia. "From my standpoint, I'd like to see secondary sanctions on every bank in Russia. I think that with what's going on there, we really can't be too tough on sanctions. We just really need to bring the hammer down," he told CNN's Dana Bash on"State of the Union."
He added:"I get that every administration wants to be in full control. Obviously, I think Congress plays a role in this. I'd like to see some language passed through Congress. We've struggled with it. We've made a good faith effort but came very close but didn't quite get it done. Look, they're putting their sanctions on. The sanctions really have surprised us as far as how, how effective they've been, and I'd encourage them to keep up and heading down that road.
Risch also criticized US President Joe Biden for saying Saturday that there should be a regime change in Russia, a remark that was quickly walked back by White House officials"There was a horrendous gaffe right at the end of it, I wish he would stay on script. Whoever wrote that speech did a good job for him. But my gosh, I wish they would keep him on script.
