The European Union warns the United States of new sanctions against Russia

-

(CNN) - The European Union has issued a harsh warning to the United States over a plan to impose new sanctions on Russia , opening up the prospect of a gap between the two allies over how to deal with Moscow's alleged meddling in elections.

 European Union President Jean Claude Juncker said the bloc could act "in a matter of days" if it does not receive assurances of the potential impact of the new sanctions on European interests.

 Russia also reacted angrily saying that the sanctions passed by the US House of Representatives could worsen the already deteriorating relations between the two countries.

 The proposal calls for new measures against Russia, North Korea and Iran, and limits any efforts by the White House to weaken such sanctions.

 But the European Union fears that sanctions could hit companies that are involved in funding a new and controversial pipeline, Nord Steam 2, which would carry gas from Russia to Germany.

 Juncker said the law could have "unintended unilateral effects" on European Union energy security.

 "This is why the Commission concluded today that if our concerns are not sufficiently taken into account, we are ready to act appropriately in a matter of days," Juncker said. "The United States can not make the interests of Europe the last."

 Germany, which has strongly backed the new pipeline, said it was worried about the new sanctions. It could be "unacceptable for the United States to use possible sanctions as an instrument to serve the interests of US industry policies," Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schäfe said Wednesday.

 If the bill passes the ballot in the United States Senate, then it would pass to President Donald Trump's desk. It is not clear if this will happen before the summer recess of Congress later this month.

 Trump has not said whether it will sign the law, which also gives Congress tools to block any relief from new sanctions against Russia, North Korea and Iran, as well as the sanctions against Russia.

 The House decision comes hours after Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and senior adviser to President Trump, was interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee on the 2016 presidential campaign and the alleged meddling of Russian officials to help Defeating his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

 Trump's presidency has been haunted with questions about its ties to Russia and its promise to improve relations with Moscow. Both the Trump government and Russia have consistently denied allegations of collusion.

Snickers is debuting a trio of new flavors next year, including an Espresso Snickers that brings an interesting coffee twist to the candy bar. Each of the flavors will be infused into the nougat filling inside of each Snickers bar. To identify them, different adjectives will be placed on the wrappers of each new flavor, apparently to help you choose which one to eat based on your mood. Those feeling irritable should eat the espresso Snickers, because you're not you without your coffee-flavored candy. Folks feeling wimpy should go for the "Fiery" Snickers, infused with hot pepper, while indecisive snackers have a new salted caramel-infused Snickers bar to sample. Regardless of your mood, if you're interested in any of these flavors, they'll be coming to the United States en masse starting in June of 2018. Bar forms and miniature pouches of each flavor will be available at that time. The actual launch date is still a long way away, so hopefully, the candies
