US EditionUS Senator Graham: Senate to Work on Russia Sanctions Bill Next Week
- Republican Senator Lindsey Graham announced the U.S. Senate will start moving a bill next week imposing new sanctions on Russia related to the three-year war in Ukraine.
- The bill, co-sponsored by Democrat Richard Blumenthal, aims to pressure Russia by imposing a 500% tariff on imports from countries buying Russian energy and related products.
- The sanctions measure has 82 cosponsors in the Senate and requires House approval and President Trump's signature to become law amid some concerns about its impact on global trade.
- Graham described the legislation as imposing "bone-breaking sanctions" and said it aims for bipartisan support to help President Trump bring Putin to the peace table, while calling upcoming talks a "Russian charade."
- If enacted, the bill would increase economic pressure on Russia and its allies but might disrupt trade with certain countries, with a possible 180-day exemption for national security reasons.
