Tough Road for Trump: Why Sanctions Bill for Tariffs on Russian Oil Buyers May Fail The proposed Russia sanctions bill, championed by Senator Lindsey Graham before his passing, has been making waves in Washington.
However, its future is far from certain due to growing resistance in Congress. Democrats and some Republicans object to provisions that would grant President Trump sweeping new tariff powers.
These concerns are well founded. The legislation would allow Trump to impose tariffs on countries buying significant volumes of Russian oil and gas or those helping Russia evade sanctions.
