Lindsay Graham and the other neocon war mongers were making the rounds of the Sunday talk shows where they were absolutely gleeful that Trump wanted to start getting tough with Russia.
“For months, President Trump has tried to entice [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to the peace table. He’s put tariffs against countries that allow fentanyl to come in our country, other bad behavior — he’s left the door open regarding Russia. That door is about to close,” Graham said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
Graham outlined that he and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who also appeared Sunday on “Face the Nation,” are leading 85 cosponsors on a sanctions bill that he said would make a “sledgehammer available to President Trump to go after Putin’s economy and all those countries who prop up the Putin war machine.”
The South Carolina Republican explained that countries like China, India and Brazil buy oil and other goods from Russia, saying “that’s the money Putin uses to prosecute the war.” Graham said the sanctions package would give the president the ability to impose 500% tariffs on any country that helps Russia. And he noted that the president would have the discretion to dial the tariffs up or down, giving him “maximum flexibility.”
“We’re going after the people who keep Putin in business, and additional sanctions on Russia itself,” Graham said. “This is truly a sledgehammer available to President Trump to end this war.”
