Recall
The United States House Foreign Affairs Committee supported Senator Lindsey Graham's bill to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism due to the abduction of Ukrainian children. The bill still needs to be considered by the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then approved by the president. This is Graham's third attempt to pass such a decision.
