Here\u2019s what Wall Street expects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bill, named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, is a package of sanctions and tariff authority targeting Russian oil sales. Proponents say oil is the top commodity Moscow uses to fund its war machine, and targeting it now will help Kyiv turn the tide on the battlefield. <\/p>\n<p>Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, along with Sens. Darline Graham, R-S.C., Katie Britt, R-Ala., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H, Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Jim Risch, R-Idaho, announced on Tuesday they had reached a deal to combine the Russia sanctions package with sanctions on Iran. That move allows a first vote to be expected on Tuesday night, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in Washington for Graham&#8217;s funeral services. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are proud to announce an agreement on legislation to stop purchasers of Russian oil and gas from fueling Putin&#8217;s war machine and to continue restricting the Iranian regime&#8217;s ability to support terrorism and build its nuclear program,&#8221; the lawmakers said in a joint statement, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. &#8220;There is no greater way to honor Senator Graham&#8217;s legacy than to move forward with this bipartisan agreement, and we look forward to today&#8217;s vote.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Graham had just returned to Washington from Ukraine when he died.<\/p>\n<p>The bill includes sweeping sets of sanctions aimed at Russia and the enablers of its war effort. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=1391\">Kentucky Gov.

The tariffs would be limited to the top five importers of Russian oil or gas and the top five enablers of energy sanctions evasion. <\/p>\n<p>The bill would also extend sanctions authority that restricts funding for Iran&#8217;s energy and weapons sectors, a crucial component of getting an agreement while the U.S. continues to wage a war with Iran. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatemovingexpertss.com\/?p=1389\">Trump: New tariffs \u2018doing the same thing\u2019 as the ones struck down by Supreme Court<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sanctions target Russian officials, oligarchs, their family members, foreign persons, Russian banks and financial institutions and the Russian shadow fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
