Trump Backs Bill Targeting Tariffs on Russian Oil, Gas and Uranium Purchases
President Trump will back a bipartisan bill authorizing heavy tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil, natural gas and uranium, according to a White House official who briefed CNN. The measure is designed to increase economic pressure on Moscow over its war in Ukraine.
The legislation was championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, with lawmakers moving to advance the bill as a tribute to his final policy priority. Senate leaders indicated the bill is in its final stages before a vote, and Trump’s support is expected to ease its passage through Congress.
