The US Senate overwhelmingly advanced a bill imposing potential sanctions on Russia, renamed in honor of the recently deceased Senator Lindsey Graham. The vote, 86-12, occurred just hours after Graham’s funeral, demonstrating bipartisan support for tougher measures against Moscow. The legislation empowers the President, including Donald Trump, to impose tariffs of up to 500% on Russian oil and other imports. Supporters say the bill aims to cripple Russia's economy and limit its ability to finance the war in Ukraine. While the bill's future remains uncertain, its passage through the Senate represents a significant step towards potentially harsher economic penalties for Russia. The legislation now moves forward for further consideration and potential enactment.
