Graham asks Trump not to delay sanctions against Russia

On April 26, after meeting with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, the US president suggested that Putin was “playing tricks on him” and did not really want to end the war.

Against this background, Donald Trump threatened Russia with new sanctions.

Responding to this statement, Graham emphasized that he appreciates the efforts of the head of the White House and his administration, because, he said, they are "working to bring an honest and just end to the war in Ukraine, unleashed by Putin's barbaric invasion."

Regarding additional sanctions on Putin's Russia, I introduced a bill, supported by nearly 60 members of both parties, that would impose secondary tariffs on imports of oil, gas, uranium, and other products from Russia.
