Senator Lindsey Graham announced Thursday that he has secured support from former President Donald Trump for his bipartisan Russia-sanctions bill. Graham stated that Trump’s backing could help move the legislation forward in Congress.
The bill aims to impose targeted sanctions related to Russia, addressing issues such as alleged election interference and cyber activity. Graham indicated that a vote on the measure could take place as early as next week, contingent on the legislative process moving smoothly.
The development marks a significant step in the bipartisan effort to strengthen U.S. sanctions policies toward Russia. Lawmakers from both parties have shown increased interest in addressing ongoing concerns about Russian actions and their impact on national security.
The bill’s progress will depend on the forthcoming floor vote and the legislative negotiations that follow. If passed, it would add to the series of sanctions measures the U.S. has implemented in recent years, reflecting ongoing tensions with Russia.
