Senate Passes Russia Sanctions Bill Championed by Late Senator Lindsey Graham

The U.S. Senate has passed a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill by a vote of 86 to 11. The legislation, which was championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, aims to stifle the Russian economy and impose tough new penalties on nations that purchase Russian oil and natural gas. The bill also extends sanctions against Iran and grants President Trump the authority to issue tariffs on major importers of Russian energy.
