I tell you what, you ask. I don’t know. The President does not have to approve, he has the veto power, in that case it’s up to Congress to then override the Veto by two thirds vote in both House and Senate.

Strangely enough, I didn't ask you the reasons - it was a rhetorical question.
But he hasn't vetoed the Sanctions Bill, he already signed it on the 2nd August 207, he has just not carried out the agreed sanctions, which both House and Senate voted for overwhelmingly, much more than 2/3rds - 419 - 3 in House, and 98 - 2 in the Senate.
