Thune Hopes to Pass Russia Sanctions Bill by August

UNITED STATES CONGRESS, JUL 9 – The bipartisan bill includes a 500% tariff on Russian energy imports and allows President Trump to waive sanctions if Russia agrees to a ceasefire, lawmakers said.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump said he is 'very strongly' considering the Russia sanctions bill after expressing sharp frustration with Putin during a cabinet meeting.
  • Following his cabinet meeting, Trump expressed frustration with Putin, indicating he would consider sanctions to pressure Russia into peace talks over Ukraine.
  • The sanctions bill proposes a 500% tariff on Russian energy imports with a waiver option for Trump if Russia agrees to a ceasefire, including oversight mechanisms.
  • Senate leader Thune said the sanctions measure could reach the floor later this month if Trump is fully supportive, contingent on presidential backing and Putin's intransigence.
  • Thune said sanctions could boost Trump's leverage in ending Ukraine bloodshed, but Trump's recent declaration that sanctions are 'at my option' complicates prospects.
