Guest: Ryan Vogel, JD, PhD, Professor of International Law, Director of the Center for National Security Studies, Utah Valley University President Donald Trump today signed a bill that imposes new sanctions on Russia for interfering in the 2016 election, among other offenses. Trump signed the bill reluctantly, because it also limits his ability to ease the sanctions without Congress’ permission. Russia saw this move coming and lobbed a pre-emptive strike of its own on Sunday, ordering the US to cut 75 percent of the employees working at US embassies and consulates in Russia.
