Authored by newsukraine.rbc.ua

US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, in an interview with ABC News , said that Trump supports a new sanctions bill against Russia and the countries that buy its energy resources.

During the interview, the host asked Graham whether he had convinced Trump to support the bill, which proposes a 500% tariff on buyers of Russian energy.

Graham called the development "a big breakthrough" and explained what the bill is intended to do.

"If you're buying products from Russia and you're not helping Ukraine, then there's a 500 percent tariff on your products coming into the United States," the Senator said.

Graham added that Congress is expected to vote on the bill next month, after the recess ends on July 7.

The Senator said he is confident Trump will sign the bill once it is passed by lawmakers.

Back in early April, Senator Graham introduced the bill proposing severe sanctions against Russia for refusing to pursue lasting peace with Ukraine. »
