President Donald Trump is set to make a significant announcement about Russia on Monday, following growing tensions over Moscow’s increased attacks on Ukraine. The announcement comes as a bipartisan sanctions bill gains support in the Senate, which would give Trump new powers to pressure Russia and its allies.
According to CNN, the proposed legislation, backed by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, has gathered 85 co-sponsors in the Senate. The bill would allow the president to put a 500% tariff on imports from countries that buy Russian uranium, gas, and oil, as Trump continues to view tariffs as a solution to various national security concerns.
