Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 25, 2014, after a Democratic caucus luncheon. Reid said Democrats are likely to remove a major roadblock preventing Congress from passing legislation authorizing sanctions on Russia and providing aid to Ukraine. He added that it appears that Democrats have agreed on a way to move the legislation forward without a provision affecting the International Monetary Fund. He says he feels strongly about IMF reforms, but that it’s important to assist Ukraine and hit Russia with sanctions over its military incursion into Crimea. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
