Ben Cardin: “Yes. And we enforce it.”

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.

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

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.
