What new sanctions is President Trump considering against Russia and how could they affect the Ukraine war?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. President Trump is considering a massive sanctions package against Russia for its continued war against Ukraine, one GOP senator and close Trump ally is calling the sanctions a possible turning point in the war, NPR's Luke Garrett reports.
Eighty five senators support legislation allowing President Trump to levy up to five hundred percent tariffs on the countries supporting Russia. That's according to South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on CBS News.
I expect in the coming days that there will be tariffs and sanctions available to President Trump he's never had before.
Graham calls the bipartisan sanctions a sledgehammer. During the presidential campaign, Trump celebrated his close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and promised a swift end to the Russia Ukraine conflict. And after taking office, Trump criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for his handling of the war. But now Trump says his patience for Putin is running thin.
