Officials at the White House are giving different signals about whether Donald Trump will agree to legislation allowing new sanctions on Russia. <br /><br />White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, said that Mr Trump had not yet decided whether to sign the bill.<br /><br />The legislation is designed as a form of punishment for the alleged Russian involvement in his election.<br /><br />In tweets, Mr Trump dismissed such talk as a “witch hunt” and condemned members of his own party who hadn’t supported him.<br /><br />But, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Trump administration’s press secretary says the White House supports the legislation<br /><br />If Mr Trump was able to veto the bill he could fuel suspicion that he supports Russia too much. But if he signs the bill he would be performing a U-turn on one of his own adminstration’s policies.<br /><br />Congressional Democrats said on Saturday they had agreed with Republicans on a deal allowing new sanctions targeting Russia, Iran and North Korea in a bill that would limit any potential effort by Trump to try to lift sanctions against Moscow.<br />
