Reference News Network, June 30 report - According to Sputnik News, June 29 report, U.S. Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said on June 29 that the U.S. Senate will begin reviewing a new sanctions bill against Russia in July.
Graham made comments on the plan to approve the new sanctions bill during an interview with ABC News: "After the July holiday, the next day (i.e., from July 7th), we plan to pass this bill."
Graham also said that the United States will impose a 500% tariff on trade partners of Russia who do not assist Ukraine.
He emphasized: "What does this bill say? If you buy Russian goods and do not support Ukraine, then your products will be subject to a 500% tariff."
American senator Graham, who was previously listed by Russia as a terrorist and extremist, is well known for his anti-Russian remarks. Previously, he submitted a sanctions bill suggesting that the United States impose tariffs of up to 500% on goods exported to the United States from countries that purchase oil, natural gas, petroleum products, and uranium from Russia.
Subsequently, Bloomberg reported that senators did not intend to pass the bill without the approval of President Trump. Previously, European Commission President von der Leyen told Graham that sanctions against Russia should be coordinated.
