Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and his fellow party member, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, have introduced a new strategy aimed at speeding up the adoption of tough sanctions against Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is according to\u00a0Politico<\/a>, as reported by Ukrinform.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawmakers in a joint statement urged colleagues to attach the sanctions bill to the coming bill to fund the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is more than a matter of policy \u2014 it is a test of resolve,\u201d Graham and Fitzpatrick emphasized. \u201cThe free world must act, and America must lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They referred to Donald Trump\u2019s statement on Saturday about his intention to impose \u201cmajor sanctions on Russia\u201d when NATO countries stop buying Russian oil and impose tariffs on China. The Republicans described this as \u201cjoint action with Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, they said, they plan to urge colleagues \u201con both sides of the aisle to join us in advancing this legislation and standing with freedom against tyranny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attaching the sanctions package to the budget resolution is seen as the only realistic way to get it passed, since House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Republican Leader John Thune were not ready to bring the measure up as a stand-alone bill without the President\u2019s explicit approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham, who initiated this strategy, has for several months been seeking support for a bill that would impose secondary sanctions on countries, including India and China, that help sustain Russia\u2019s wartime economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham\u2019s bill already has 85 co-sponsors from both parties, but for months it stalled due to Trump\u2019s wait-and-see stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As earlier reported, Trump sent a letter to NATO countries on Saturday, stating that he is prepared to impose \u201cmajor sanctions on Russia\u201d when all NATO countries stop purchasing oil from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
