Russia-US relations are at an extremely low and dangerous level. For the deterioration of relations need to thank the American congressmen who have developed and adopted new sanctions. This opinion was voiced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

"Our relationship with Russia is now at an all-time low level. You can say thank you to Congress, and also to those people who can not give health insurance, "the politician wrote on his Twitter.

On August 2, Trump signed a scandalous law on new anti-Russian sanctions.

July 27, the US Senate passed a bill to expand restrictive measures against the Russian Federation, Iran and the DPRK.

The document was approved by 98 parliamentarians, two opposed. Prior to this, on July 25, the bill was approved by the House of Representatives of the US Congress. Moreover, this decision was actively supported by both Trump party members of the Republican Party and Democrats.

The document deprives President Donald Trump of the possibility of independently deciding on the abolition of sanctions. He agreed with this. American media called the incident "a slap in the face of Trump".
