American Republican Congressman Joe Wilson after the russian drone attacks on Poland has submitted a bill to the US Congress that would restore the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to Russia. About this he said wrote in the social network X (Twitter).

Reference
The Jackson-Vanik Amendment is an addendum to the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 that restricted U.S. financial and trade relations with countries whose governments violate human rights, namely, prohibit or unlawfully restrict the free emigration of their citizens.

The amendment was repealed in 2012 by the administration of former US President Barack Obama.

Thus, the renewal of the Jackson-Vanik amendment means a complete cessation of trade with Russia, which Wilson called a "terrorist dictatorship."

The politician reminded that the law was repealed on the initiative of Barack Obama і John Kerry as part of the so-called "reset of relations with Russia".

According to Wilson, the move was "misguided" and "reckless," and actually encouraged Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to occupy Crimea.

"Trump will fix this situation!" Wilson emphasized.
