WATCH: Rubio issues WARNING to Trump over Russian sanctions

Marco Rubio issued a warning to Trump this morning on dropping Russian sanctions, telling CNN that if Trump were to roll back Russian sanctions without having Russia pull out of Ukraine, the Senate would put those sanctions back in place:

…if there’s a real threat of lifting sanctions minus the respect for Ukrainian sovereignty and Putin meeting those conditions, my sense is that we would have the votes to pass that in the Senate and that we would be able to pass it with a veto-proof majority.

I get the sense Rubio is trying to be diplomatic here, but his point still stands that the Senate could easily roll over Trump and reestablish sanctions with a veto-proof majority.

As Tom Cotton suggested this morning, it’s best to wait and see what Trump actually proposes or says his posture will be towards Russia before jumping to too many conclusions.
