The amendment was proposed by Democrats from California Bradley Sherman and Maxine Waters. She was later supported by a congressman 234, and opposed by 195.

“The amendment sends a clear signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin that they were not able to get off the hook, and Russia will face real consequences due to interference in the elections,” Waters said.

Sherman, in turn, indicated that up to this point the sanctions were “illusory”, since some of the blacklists involved were only forbidden to visit the United States.

“This amendment provides for real, serious sanctions against Russia,” said Sherman.
