  "summary": "The incoming Democratic-controlled US Congress could pass veto-proof legislation requiring President Donald Trump to impose stricter sanctions on Russia, restore military aid to Ukraine, and limit potential troop withdrawals from Europe, according to Ian Brzezinski, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and former senior Pentagon official. This shift in policy could fundamentally alter Washington's approach to Moscow, even as Trump retains considerable authority over US foreign policy. The new Congress, which gained control following Tuesday's midterm elections, could leverage its budgetary powers to restrict reductions in the American military presence in Europe, an issue that has raised concerns among NATO allies.",
