auroranews.am Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's bill to tighten sanctions against Russia already has more than 60 co-sponsors, which is sufficient for it to be passed in the U.S. Senate. This is reported by Axios.
According to the publication, the bill proposes to impose 100% secondary tariffs on countries that continue to purchase Russian oil and gas.
According to a source from Axios, the document currently has at least 61 co-sponsors, including 39 Republicans and 22 Democrats.
On July 16, the Senate Republican leadership initiated a so-called "hotline" procedure by conducting an informal survey among Republican senators to determine if there are any objections to bringing the bill to a vote. This indicates that the leadership wants to advance the initiative as quickly as possible.
The new version of the bill is also being presented by Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. After the Senate, the document must also be approved by the U.S. House of Representatives.
CNN previously reported that U.S. President Donald Trump is ready to support the passage of this bipartisan bill.
