US Senate Passes Bill to Punish Russia for Ukraine War
After a long time, the Senate has finally passed a package of sanctions against Russia. This is a big win for Senator Graham, who fought hard for this bill.
The bill passed the Senate with a big majority and now goes to the House. President Donald Trump also supports the bill.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked US lawmakers to pass the bill last week. He wants to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression.
The bill is a big step towards stopping Putin's war machine.
Senator Graham is seen in a photo before President Trump's State of the Union address. Graham was a strong supporter of the bill.
Senator Richard Blumenthal said that President Zelenskyy and President Putin are watching the US Senate's actions. He hopes that Senator Graham is also watching.
The bill targets Russia's oil and gas sales to stop its war machine.
The bill also imposes sanctions on Iran to stop its weapons and energy sectors.
The bill includes sanctions on Putin, Russian officials, and military leaders. It also imposes high tariffs on Russian imports and gives President Trump the power to control the sanctions.
This is a big deal for Senator Graham's legacy.
The tariff authority was a problem, but it did not stop the bill.
Some senators, like Rand Paul and Ron Wyden, had issues with the tariff authority. They wanted to change it.
Senator Paul does not agree with President Trump's tariff strategy. He thinks it will hurt the US.
Senator Paul said that the tariffs will not work and might even help Russia and China.
President Trump's allies want to use tariffs to punish countries that are not fair to the US.
President Putin held a press conference in Moscow last year.
Senator Paul thinks that the tariffs will push Russia and China together.
Senator Raphael Warnock was the last senator to agree to the bill.
