    Bill would impose 500 per cent tariffs on
    countries continuing to buy oil and gas from Putin

    Donald Trump is pressuring a US senator to weaken
    a Bill that would impose sweeping sanctions on
    Russia.

    White House officials hoping to mend relations with
    Moscow have been quietly contacting senator Lindsey
    Graham’s office urging him to water down his Bill,
    which aims to cripple Vladimir Putin with huge
    sanctions.

    The Bill, backed by nearly the entire Senate, would
    impose 500 per cent tariffs on countries that
    continue to buy Russian oil and gas, which bankrolls
    Putin’s war effort.

    Donald Trump is pressuring a US senator to weaken
    a Bill that would impose sweeping sanctions on
    Russia.

    "Speaking in the Oval Office alongside Friedrich Merz, German
    chancellor, on Thursday, the US president said that the Bill should
    not move forward without his express approval."

    That's not how it works, moron. The Congress does their thing and,
    both Houses having agreed, you may veto the bill if you like, but you
    have NO Constitutional authority to approve what Congress will or
    won't legislate until the legislation is complete.


    Explain that to the House.
