(Wisconsin) Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman is one of just a few lawmakers who voted against ending trade relations with Russia. Grothman joined seven other lawmakers as the sole no votes on a bill that would curtail Russia’s trade status.
The bill allows the President to increase tariffs with Russia and neighboring Belarus. Grothman tells the Journal Sentinel that he opposes an expansion of the Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allows the US and other countries to issue sanctions against individual people for contributing to human rights abuses. He claims it could be used against people who have Christian beliefs.
