The late Sen. Lindsey Graham's sanctions bill against Russia, which aims to heavily penalize Putin's economy and target his energy and financial sectors, is facing hurdles in the Senate. The main point of contention is a provision that grants President Trump the power to impose high tariffs on the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas. Over 80 senators support the bill, but 11 Democrats and Republican Rand Paul oppose it, fearing Trump could use tariffs to 'punish friends and reward enemies'. Graham's co-author, Richard Blumenthal, assures changes have been made to protect European allies.
