Republican senators adjourned for August recess without passing a major Russia sanctions bill, leaving President Trump to decide on penalties against Russia for its actions in Ukraine. Trump has expressed frustration with Putin and hinted at tariffs, imposing a 25% tariff on India as a preview. While the proposed Graham-Blumenthal bill called for a 500% tariff, some senators see even a portion of that as a success. Others criticized the Senate's inaction, urging continued pressure on Russia.
