US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has once again highlighted his bill to impose secondary duties on imports of oil, gas, uranium and other products from Russia.
Source Graham on X Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details Grahams comment comes as US President Donald Trump criticised the latest Russian strikes on civilian cities in Ukraine and expressed doubt that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin wants to end the war.
He has also threatened to impose sanctions on Russia.
In response, Graham said he appreciated the efforts of Trump and his team, who are working diligently to end the war in Ukraine that was created by Putins barbaric invasion in an honourable and just way.
As to additional sanctions on Putins Russia, I have bipartisan legislation with almost 60 cosponsors that would put secondary tariffs on any country that purchases Russian oil, gas, uranium or other products, he said.
Graham noted that the Senate stands ready to move in this direction and will do so overwhelmingly if Russia does not embrace an honourable, just and enduring peace.
Background President Zelenskyy met with Donald Trump before Pope Francis farewell ceremony in Rome.
The meeting occurred amid growing US pressure on Kyiv to bring an end to Russias war against Ukraine.
