WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th January, 2019) The US Senate failed on Wednesday to advance a resolution to block the Treasury Department from lifting sanctions on three Russian companies, En+, Rusal and Eurosibenergo.
The Senate was unable to secure the 60 votes needed to advance the measure, with 57 senators voting in favor and 42 voting against a motion that would have limited debate and opened a 30-hour window for them to adopt the resolution.
