Graham, Blumenthal hail Trump’s new Russia sanctions plan
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The sanctions target countries trading Russian oil and gas with tariffs up to 500%, backed by 85 U.S. senators aiming to pressure Russia to end the Ukraine war.
- Threatening secondary tariffs, Donald Trump announced on July 14 that he would impose `biting secondary tariffs` of 100 per cent, setting a 50-day deadline for a peace deal.
- Earlier this month, Senators Graham and Blumenthal introduced the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025, securing 85 bipartisan cosponsors and promising tougher penalties to deter India, China, Brazil.
- Congressional action sends a powerful message of support, Richard Blumenthal posted on X, while data show China, India and Turkey are the biggest buyers of Russian crude and Trump said Putin’s peace `talk` was undercut by strikes on Ukrainian cities.
- The goal is not more tariffs and sanctions but to entice Putin to come to the peace table, and Richard Blumenthal warned of a personal `sense of betrayal` driving Trump to wield this economic hammer.
- Graham hinted at impending declarations on arms sales and redirected Russian assets to bolster Ukraine’s defenses.
