Republicans Rip Biden for Delaying Sanctions on Putin Regime Sen. Risch and Rep. McCaul say Biden s inaction projects weakness Jack Beyrer • June 16, 2021 6:15 pm SHARE Congressional Republicans on Wednesday said President Joe Biden is backing down to Russian president Vladimir Putin by delaying legally required sanctions on the strongman s regime. House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Michael McCaul (R., Texas) and Senate Foreign Relations Committee ranking member Jim Risch (R., Idaho) called on the president to impose sanctions on Russia that are mandated by the 1991 Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act. Although the administration enforced sanctions in March in response to the Putin regime s poisoning of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, it is required to enforce a second round of sanctions within 90 days if Biden is unable to certify that Russia no longer uses chemical weapons.
