Radio Liberty reports that Congressman Democrat Eliot Engel stated this. Engel, who is one of the leaders of the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives, sent a letter to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. This letter calls for the development of a strategy to counter Russian propaganda. And he also plans, in cooperation with the Congress, to implement the strategy.

"Otherwise, the House of Representatives and the Senate will be forced to seek legislative alternatives in order to take into account the threat posed by Russia and IGIL with due seriousness," says the letter of Congressman Engel.

The reason for the letter was that the US State Department will not spend 80 million dollars to neutralize foreign, including Russian, propaganda.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the United States will respond to the reduction in the number of employees of American diplomatic missions in Russia - Tillerson.
