Sen. Graham says Trump has 'greenlit' sanctions bill aiming to punish Russia for war in Ukraine

President Donald Trump is now on board with a hard-hitting sanctions package meant to economically cripple Moscow as his administration continues to negotiate a deal to end the war that began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he met with Trump at the White House earlier Wednesday, during which the president “greenlit” the Russia sanctions bill that has been in the works for months. Graham had signaled previously that Trump has blessed the bill, only for it to encounter additional obstacles.
