Graham: Senate will move ‘soon’ on Russia, China sanctions

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The Senate bill includes a 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, aiming to economically pressure Russia amid escalating conflict in Ukraine, with 80 bipartisan cosponsors.

  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Sen. Lindsey Graham announced the Senate will soon move on bipartisan sanctions targeting Russia, China, and India.
  • The sanctions follow escalating Russian attacks on Ukraine and stem from stalled bills now gaining momentum amid concerns over diplomatic efforts.
  • The legislation, co-sponsored by over 80 senators, includes punishing sanctions and 500% secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian energy products, including China and India.
  • President Trump stated at a recent cabinet meeting that approving or ending the sanctions would be entirely his decision, indicating he is seriously considering the proposal.
  • If advanced, the bill could empower Trump with more leverage on Putin and pressure Russia to end its war, while some dissenters oppose further sanctions.
