US President Donald Trump has given his approval to a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that could impose penalties on countries doing business with Moscow, including India, China and Brazil, according to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

A US bill backed by Trump could impose very high tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil. India may face fresh pressure as the Senate prepares to vote on the proposal.

President Donald Trump is now on board with a hard-hitting sanctions package meant to economically cripple Moscow as his administration continues to negotiate a deal to end the war that began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he met with Trump at the White House earlier Wednesday, during which the president “greenlit” the Russia sanctions bill that has been in the works for months. Graham had signaled previously that Trump has blessed the bill, only for it to encounter additional obstacles.
