Purchasing Russian oil will be taxed at 500%!" US Republican Senator: The US Senate will begin deliberating on new sanctions against Russia in July
US Republican Senator Lindsay Graham (listed by Russia as a terrorist and extremist) stated on June 29 that the US Senate will start deliberating on new sanctions against Russia in July.
Graham commented on the plan to approve the new sanctions against Russia during an interview with ABC News, saying, "After the July recess, the next day (starting from July 7th), we plan to pass this bill."
Graham also said that the US would impose a 500% tariff on trade partners of Russia who do not assist Ukraine.
He emphasized, "What does the bill say? If you purchase Russian goods and do not support Ukraine, your products will be taxed at 500%."
Graham pointed out that the bill mainly targets India and China, as he believes these two countries are importers of Russian oil.
Senator Graham, who was listed by Russia as a terrorist and extremist, is well known for his anti-Russian statements. Previously, he submitted a sanctions bill suggesting that the US should impose tariffs of up to 500% on goods exported to the US by 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, and the President of the European Commission told Graham that sanctions against Russia should be coordinated.
