“For months, President Trump has tried to woo [Russian President Vladimir] Putin on the piece table. He puts tariffs against countries that allow Phentenile to come in our country, other bad behavior – that has left the door open about Russia. He is about to close the door, “Graham said” face the nation with Margaret Brainon. ,
Graham underlined that he and Sen Richard Bluental, a connecticut democrats, who also appeared on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, leading 85 Koponsars on a ban bill, said that he provided “Sledaimmer to Putin’s economy and all those countries” Sledaimmer, which forwarded the Putin war machine.
South Carolina Republican reported that countries like China, India and Brazil buy oil and other items from Russia, saying that “it is the money that Putin uses to prosecute war.” Graham said that the restriction package would give the President a capacity to impose 500% tariffs on any country that helps Russia. And he said that the President will have the discretion to dial the tariff up or down, which will give him “maximum flexibility”.

After a call with the Russian leader earlier this month, Mr. Trump told reporters that he was “very disappointed” and “no progress.” And Mr. Trump said last week that his administration would send more defensive weapons during the days of Ukraine after some weapons shipment, as Russia provoked Ukraine with drone and missile attacks, which Ukraine described as the biggest attacks since Ukraine started in February 2022.
Mr. Trump said on Tuesday during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, “Putin is not treating humans properly. He is killing many people.” “So we are sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I have approved it.”
The President also said during the cabinet meeting that he is “very strongly” given the bills of restrictions.
The remedy was sidelined among other priorities in the Congress in recent weeks and as the White House demanded a change in measures that would provide more flexibility to the President on implementing sanctions. But the Senate majority leader John Thyun said last week that GOP leaders have “progressed” on the law, and he estimated that the measure could be prepared to consider the serial floor as this work period, which ends on August 1.
Graham and Bluestal met with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelanski in Europe later last week. Ukrainian President praised the bill of sanctions Post After the meeting, on X, “Without a doubt, it really takes advantage of that that can bring closer to peace and make sure that diplomacy is not empty.”
BlueMemental said on Sunday that European leaders are “exactly solidarity” with the US on sanctions, saying “It was emphasized by all European colleagues who were at the moment to bring down this Sledaimmer who were in the meeting that Sen Graham and I attended Europe.”
Connecticut Democrats said that the language in the law is similar to the previous measures on the exemption authority of the President, which allows the President to work even while monitoring the Congress. He called the assurance “very important” for his democratic colleagues.
“Which is most important, I think, at this time, our unity,” said BlueMemental. “Sen Graham and I, Republican and Democrats, are coming together, European leaders with different ideas, also in unity.”
Comments come in the form of Mr. Trump, when he took over in January, since the first time he is considering authorizing fresh funds for Ukraine, many diplomatic sources told CBS News. When asked about the additional American support for Ukraine, Graham teased an announcement, the President is expected to do on Russia on Monday, “America, who sells arms to help Ukraine, is in a lot of sports.”
“We have given a lot to Ukraine,” Graham said. “We have given money. We have given them military assistance. Now we have a mineral agreement with Ukraine that is worth the dollars. So I do not want to go beyond the President, but remain about the seized property.”
Bluementer also said that European leaders are planning to reach at least the property seized from Russia, given that the $ 5 billion seized by the US can also be accessed. “I think it’s time to do it,” said BlueMemental.
Rape French Hill, an Arkansas Republican, who also appeared on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, led the law during the Biden administration, gave the President a rational right to seize foreign property. And although the consensus could not be reached on this step earlier, Hill said that it is time to work.
“I think it’s time for the President to convert the seized property into a trust account for Ukraine’s benefit,” Hill said.
No US President has ever confiscated the sovereign central bank property of the country with which the US is not in war. Former US officials told the CBS that the Biden administration refused to exercise the rights due to the European opposition related to its own banking systems and unexpected results on the economy, which could result in confiscation of state assets.
Graham said he hopes in the coming days “you will see a record -level weapons to help protect Ukraine,” with new tariffs and restrictions and more support from Europe to Mr. Trump.
Graham said, “Putin did a miscalcol here.” “For six months, President Trump tried to woo Putin on the table. The attacks have gone up, not down. Putin, one of the biggest miscolles, has to play Trump.”
