Sen. Shaheen on Russia Sanctions Bill; World Cup Finale

President Donald Trump says Republicans should “add Iran to the Russian Sanctions Bill” in a post on Truth Social today. He adds it is what late Lindsey Graham “wanted to do, and it was going to happen”

Also this weekend, Lionel Messi’s Argentina will face off against European champions Spain in the World Cup final in New Jersey, a match that wraps up a tournament that shattered attendance records and has been hailed as a major economic victory for the region.

On today’s show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini speak with:

- Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, (D) New Hampshire, disagreed with President Trump by saying Senator Lindsey Graham never suggested Iran be part of the Russian sanctions bill.

- Antonio Rüdiger, German National Team & Real Madrid Defense, and Randall Williams, Bloomberg News Senior Sports Reporter, joined to talk the World Cup finale. Rüdiger also reflected on player longevity, promoted his foundation supporting children in Sierra Leone and touched on World Cup expansion.

- Bloomberg News Wealth Reporter Devon Pendleton discussed how rare dinosaur fossils have become a fast-growing collectible market, with wealthy buyers spending tens of millions of dollars on museum-quality specimens while demanding detailed provenance to verify authenticity.

- Plus, David, Christina, and Lisa Mateo play Pointed: The News Quiz for Risk Takers.
