Ben Cardin: “Human rights is a hugely important dimension of our relationship and, frankly, a problem area.”

If we are going to carry this as a value on the international stage, that the United States stands up for human rights and certain values and the rule of law, is it not important that we be willing to apply these sanctions to accomplish…

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

There is no reason why somebody should be sanctioned in America and not in Europe or not in the U.K.

We need to consider how we deal with that.
