President Donald Trump is reviewing Senator Lindsey Graham’s bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, which would let the White House impose tariffs of up to 500% on countries that continue to trade with Russia while withholding support for Ukraine. The measure also targets Russian oil and uranium sales and counts roughly 85 co-sponsors in the Senate. Graham said Trump told him he is “ready for us to act” and would sign the legislation once it reaches his desk. Senate Majority Leader John Thune signalled the bill could reach the floor before lawmakers leave for August recess, though administration officials are negotiating broader waiver authority that would give the president more control over how the penalties are enforced. Calling the package a “sledgehammer” against President Vladimir Putin, Graham predicted a record surge of U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine and urged nations such as China, India and Brazil to reconsider Russian purchases. Trump is expected to make a major statement on Russia on 14 July, a move the senator says could mark a turning point in the war.
