President Trump is finally ready to crush Putin with the toughest sanctions Russia has ever seen. Senator Lindsey Graham has been pushing a massive sanctions bill that will slam Russia with 500 percent tariffs. After months of trying diplomacy, Trump has told Graham it’s time to move forward with the hammer blow.
Graham’s bill has over 85 senators backing it from both parties. This isn’t some weak political game – it’s real action that will hurt Russia where it counts most. The sanctions will go after Russian oil, their shadow fleet of ships, and any country that helps Putin’s war machine.
Trump gave Putin a clear deadline to end the war in Ukraine by August 8th. When Putin failed to deliver real peace, Trump met with him in Alaska to give him one last chance. Putin walked away with nothing but empty promises and a smile on his face.
Now it’s time for America to show its strength. Graham says Trump is the only leader on the planet who can stop Putin’s bloody war. While weak European allies talk and worry, Trump is ready to use America’s economic power like a sledgehammer.
The sanctions will hit countries like China and India if they keep buying Russian oil. America will cut off access to our economy for anyone supporting Putin’s killing spree in Ukraine. This sends a clear message that America won’t tolerate dictators who murder innocent people.
Putin thought he could play games with Trump and avoid consequences. He was dead wrong about America’s resolve under strong leadership. Trump tried diplomacy first, but Putin only understands one language – overwhelming economic force.
Graham is right that Trump has unique power to end this war. Previous weak presidents let Putin run wild across the globe. But Trump knows how to use America’s economic strength to bring tyrants to their knees.
The Senate will likely vote on these crushing sanctions in the coming weeks. With Trump’s full support and 85 senators behind it, Putin’s war economy is about to face the full fury of American economic might. It’s time to make Putin pay the price for his aggression.
