Graham to Brief Allies on Russia Sanctions | JQJO

US Senator Lindsey Graham will brief European leaders in Antalya on Thursday about his proposed sanctions against Russia. These sanctions, aimed at crippling the Russian economy, are seen by Europeans as crucial to persuading Vladimir Putin to negotiate with Ukraine. While Trump initially supported Putin's call for talks, some within his administration are privately expressing concerns about Putin's intentions. Graham's sanctions, including a 500% tariff on imports from countries buying Russian energy, could trigger a trade war with China and India. The European Union also has its own sanctions package, but believes Graham's measures are key to impacting the conflict.
