Today, President Trump signed into law the Countering America&rsquo;s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, which strengthens and expands statutory sanctions on Iran, Russia and North Korea. In a <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-donald-j-trump-signing-countering-americas-adversaries-sanctions-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> released by the White House, the president said, &ldquo;I favor tough measures to punish and deter bad behavior by the rogue regimes in Tehran and Pyongyang. I also support making clear that America will not tolerate interference in our democratic process, and that we will side with our allies and friends against Russian subversion and destabilization.&rdquo; The statement goes on to say that &ldquo;the bill remains seriously flawed &ndash; particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch&rsquo;s authority to negotiate.&rdquo;
In a <a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-donald-j-trump-signing-h-r-3364/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">separate statement</a> issued the same day, the president again asserted that the legislation &ldquo;is significantly flawed,&rdquo; stating that, &ldquo;In its haste to pass this legislation, the Congress included a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions.&rdquo;
