Ben Cardin: “We are a coequal branch of government. We expect the State Department to implement what Congress has done.”

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…

Why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?

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

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