Democratic Party in the US Congress, the bill on new sanctions against the Russian Federation wants to drive American leader Donald Trump into a trap, forcing him to veto and again fall under the fire of the public.

This opinion was expressed in the commentary to the "Observer" by the director of the Institute of Political Analysis and International Studies, Sergei Tolstov.

"At the same time, they want to put in an uncomfortable position the Republicans who either have to overcome the veto or refuse to support the bill. If they choose the second option, they will show that they are insincere people who change their position depending on the opinion of Trump. If they go to overcome the veto, it will strengthen the split among the Republicans and show that there is no unity in their ranks, "said the international.

As reported by the Observer, on the eve of the Senate, the US supported the tightening of sanctions against Russia for the annexation of the Crimea, the support of Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as hacker attacks on the US Democratic Party servers before the presidential elections in 2016. True later, the House of Representatives of the US Congress on the initiative of members of the Republican Party refused to vote on the bill.
