Graham-Van Hollen Turkey Sanctions Bill

President Trump directed the removal of sanctions against the Turkish defense and energy ministries on Oct. 23.

The PACT Act closely mirrors the unsuccessful Graham-Van Hollen Turkey Sanctions Bill in the Senate.

The Trump administration said the Turkish government satisfied the five-day ceasefire commitment in northern Syria.

The Trump administration takes aim at financial assets of Turkish government agencies and officials linked to military strikes in Syria, but Congress may legislate broader sanctions in the days ahead.
