The Senate will take up legislation that would sanction Russia’s trading partners, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday, pushing a bill placing added pressure on Russia to end its war with Ukraine.
President Donald Trump told reporters Sunday night that the proposed Senate legislation would be “OK with me,” his strongest approval on the sanctions.
In a post on the social media site X, Graham — a key supporter of the bill — said “with President Trump’s blessing,” the Senate would move on the sanctions to “continue the momentum to end this war honorably, justly and once and for all.”
“This legislation is designed to give President Trump more flexibility and power to push Putin to the peace table by going after both Putin and countries like Iran that support him,” Graham wrote. “I appreciate the strong bipartisan support for this legislation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.”
