Details
I am very pleased that, with President Trump's blessing, Congress will advance a largely bipartisan bill on sanctions against Russia, which will give President Trump more tools to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine. The legislation allows the President to impose secondary sanctions and duties at his discretion against countries that continue to buy cheap Russian oil and gas, supporting Putin's war machine.
According to him, the bill is designed to give President Trump more flexibility and power to push Putin to the negotiating table, attacking both Putin and countries like Iran that support him.
"President Trump's executive sanctions against two leading Russian oil companies have made a significant difference. The Russia sanctions bill will continue to move forward to end this war once and for all," Graham added.
Recall
