US Sen. says Trump has authorized sanctions bill targeting Russia
“After a very productive meeting today with President Trump on a variety of issues, he greenlit the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that I have been working on for months with Senator Blumenthal and many others,” Graham wrote on social media.
The legislation, according to Graham, would enable Trump to “punish those countries who buy cheap Russian oil.” He described the timing as “well-timed,” noting that “Ukraine is making concessions for peace.”
Graham explained that the bill would provide Trump with significant leverage over nations such as China, India, and Brazil, pressuring them to halt purchases of discounted Russian oil that help fund Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine.
“I look forward to a strong bipartisan vote, hopefully as early as next week,” he added.
