Rutherford Votes to Sanction North Korea, Russia, and Iran

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman John Rutherford issued the following statement after the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 3364, the Countering Adversarial Nations Through Sanctions Act, a bipartisan bill that imposes sweeping sanctions against North Korea, Russia, and Iran.

Congressman John Rutherford said, "The United States will not tolerate aggression from hostile nations that seek to inflict harm on America and her allies. From North Korea's nuclear ambitions, to Russia's illegal activities in Ukraine and attempts to interfere in our and other democratic elections, to Iran's sponsorship of terrorism, we must use every tool at our disposal to hold these regimes accountable for their actions. I am proud to join my colleagues in protecting our citizens and standing up against nations who seek to threaten global safety and stability. We will remain vigilant in our efforts to deter aggression and promote peace."
