The Trump administration does not support Graham’s anti -ray bill

According to RCO News Agency, US Republican Senator Lindsi Graham from South Carolina recently proposed a 5 % tariff on importing Russian energy and raw materials to boost the US position and promote the United States, with the aim of pressure on Russian business partners such as China and India to cut economic cooperation with Moscow.

The Wall Street Journal reports on Friday evening: “Congress assistants said that in recent weeks, the White House and other government officials have contacted the Graham office and asked him to reduce the intensity of their bill; That is, there are exemptions that allow Trump to choose who or what is boycotted. “

“The assistants also said that another way to weaken the bill is to turn the word” must “into” possible “wherever it is mentioned in the bill and eliminate the compulsory nature of the prescribed reprimands,” the report said.

Democratic Senator Richard Bluemann of Connecticut and supporters of Senator Graham confirmed private talks with the White House but refused to comment on their content. He also said, “We are moving and the White House is present in our conversations.”

Graham, known as one of the prominent figures in foreign policy and longtime supporters of Trump, is supporting a bill that will impose a 5 % tariff on countries that buy energy, uranium and other Russian raw materials; These measures mainly target India and China. But US President Donald Trump’s government apparently is trying to focus on reforming Washington-Masko relations.
