The White House has confirmed Senator Lindsey Graham’s statement that US President Donald Trump has approved a bill on new sanctions against Russia. However, it is not being considered in Congress as the House of Representatives and Senate are focused on budget and other legislative issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by The New York Post<\/a> .<\/p>\n

A White House spokesman confirmed that Donald Trump supports the legislative initiative on sanctions against Russia. According to the official, the US president signaled his support for this document back in mid-November, but had not previously voiced full political approval.<\/p>\n

Senator Lindsey Graham said that Donald Trump has agreed to his bipartisan bill that provides for increased economic pressure on Russia. The document, in particular, is aimed at punishing countries that buy cheap Russian oil.<\/p>\n

“The president has approved a bill that would allow him to punish countries that buy cheap Russian oil and fund Vladimir Putin’s military machine,” said Lindsey Graham.<\/p>\n

The bill also provides the US president with leverage over countries such as China, India, and Brazil to reduce purchases of Russian energy.<\/p>\n

Despite support from the White House, Congress has not yet moved on to consider the sanctions initiative. Lawmakers are focused on passing the budget and other priority bills, which have limited time frames.<\/p>\n

Republican lawmakers pushing the bill have expressed growing frustration with the process, while House and Senate leaders have yet to decide which chamber should take up the bill first.<\/p>\n

The White House confirmed that Trump’s support for the sanctions remains, but further progress on the document depends on the legislative schedule of the US Congress.<\/p>\n

Earlier, US Senator Lindsey Graham reported that US President Donald Trump had given the “green light” to a bipartisan bill regarding sanctions against Russia<\/a> .<\/p>\n

As a reminder, US President Donald Trump said that Republicans in Congress are preparing a bill on very tough sanctions against countries that continue to do business with Russia<\/a> . According to him, the document may also include provisions on Iran.<\/p>\n

As reported, US President Donald Trump has stated his willingness to approve a legislative initiative to impose sanctions against Russia<\/a> , but on the condition that the final decision on their application will remain with him personally.<\/p>\n
