Sen. Lindsey Graham, responding to a Wall Street Journal editorial advocating for sanctions against Russia, asserted that the Senate is prepared to act if President Trump fails in brokering a ceasefire in Ukraine. He promoted his tariff legislation that imposes steep penalties on nations purchasing Russian energy, aiming to isolate Russia economically. Despite supporting Trump's peace efforts, Graham emphasized the necessity for immediate action, stressing that halting Russian support from countries like China and India is crucial in curbing Putin's military actions.
Graham emphasized that if Trump fails to negotiate peace, the Senate will step in to enact severe sanctions on countries buying Russian energy.
He expressed gratitude for Trump's peace efforts, but conveyed readiness to act independently if necessary, urging immediate pressure against Putin's backers.
