The U.S. Senate approved Senator Lindsey Graham's proposal to impose primary and secondary sanctions on Russia and on countries and businesses that purchase Russian oil and gas, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
The U.S. Senate approved the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, imposing primary and secondary sanctions on Russia and on countries and businesses that purchase Russian oil and gas, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The vote came hours after the Senate advanced the bill in a procedural step earlier Wednesday, as The Zioneer reported. President Trump had called on Congress to pass the bill as a tribute to Graham, who died earlier this month. The measure, which also targets secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian energy, is part of a broader effort to increase economic pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine.
