American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has reported that President Donald Trump is ready to support a new law on tough sanctions against Russia. The consideration of this issue is scheduled for July, after the Congressional recess.
Yesterday the President told me for the first time that it is time to move the bill forward, Graham said after speaking with Trump during a golf game on ABC News. The senator is confident that Trump will sign the law if it is passed by lawmakers.
Tough Sanctions Against Russia
The bill proposed by Graham envisions imposing a 500% duty on the import of goods from countries that continue to buy Russian energy resources. The main goal of the initiative is to make countries that support the Russian economy reconsider their relations.
Sanctions against Russia are very important. Their economy needs to take a hit if they do not intend to stop the war, commented Graham's statement Andrei Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
As a result of the conversation between Senator Graham and President Trump, it became known that the American leader is ready to support tough sanctions against Russia. The bill aims to reduce support for the Russian economy by imposing significant import duties on goods from countries that continue to cooperate with Putin's regime. This initiative is intended to make countries reconsider their relations with Moscow and abandon support for Russian energy resources. This could be a significant step towards resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine and reducing the influence of the Russian regime on international affairs.
