US senator says Trump gave green light on sanctions on Russia


(MENAFN) US Senator Lindsey Graham announced that President Donald Trump has approved a bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia. The legislation is designed to penalize countries that purchase discounted Russian oil, including China, India, and Brazil.

Graham described the bill as “well-timed,” noting that it coincides with ongoing Ukrainian concessions for peace. He added that the measure would give Trump significant leverage to curb Russian financing amid the Russia-Ukraine war. A strong bipartisan vote is expected soon.
