CNN ran two stories saying Trump opposes Russia sanctions as he was about to sign one into law
 

CNN’s nakedly partisan reporting may have sunk to new lows this week.

The news network ran, not just one, but two stories reporting that President Donald Trump is balking at sanctions targeting Russia for its 2016 election interference and annexation of Crimea. However, what CNN did not report is that the 45th president signed tough sanctions on Friday that target the Kremlin’s expansion into European oil markets.

Even the UK’s BBC covered Trump approving the measures targeting a major Russian pipeline while the so-called “most trusted name in news” in the United States ignored.

The bill CNN apparently referred to, the "Defending American Security from Kremlin Aggression Act of 2019", https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/482/actions , is a Senate bill and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. There was a 2018 version, https://congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/3336/actions , that does not seem to have gotten action in committee. It's possible that Trump has expressed opposition or concern about some aspects of the bill in its current state, but it could be amended by the Senate, and if the House considers it, there as well.
