Trump is set to take the reins in determining penalties against Russia, according to the White House's announcement.
Trump to Decide on Tightening Russia Sanctions
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made it loud and clear: it's none other than Prez Donald Trump who's gonna make the final call on any potential ratcheting up of sanctions against Mother Russia.
Freakin' A, she said this at a presser on Tuesday, as per "European Truth". She was quizzed about Trump's stance on the move to beef up sanctions against Russia, with both chambers of Congress on board. Leavitt, she's cool, reminded us all how Trump "smartly kept sanctions as a card up his sleeve for when the time calls".
She also mentioned the gabbetween Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul, and how amazing was it that last year at the same time, the thought of Russia and Ukraine chit-chatting was as far-fetched as a unicorn taking a piss on the Moon. According to Leavitt, that totally happened, thanks to Trump's balls-out persistence and determination.
Yep, he's ready to slap sanctions on 'em, if the situation calls for it. And the Senate and Capitol Hill? They fucking get it that Trump is the grand poobah, running the US foreign policy, as it oughta be.
Now, about that bill put forth by Senators Richard Blumenthal (Democrat) and Lindsey Graham (Republican), and spun by 80 of their mates. It proposes some additional economic sanctions against Russia for not playing fair with the ceasefire shit. They're even talking 'bout a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that slurp Russian oil.
The Democrats and Repubs think this bill's rad. And you know who else? The House of Reps does too. Graham has even said he's gunning for new sanctions against Russia before the G7 summit in June.
It's interesting to note that this refers to a bill that's been buzzing around Capitol Hill, with the gang's all here to fish for more sanctions against Russia due to their pesky attacks on Ukraine. But, Trump's decision at the end of the day is still up in the air. Until then, let's just call it a game of wait and see, shall we?
The ongoing policy-and-legislation discussions about potential war-and-conflicts with Russia involve the proposed bill by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham, which includes additional economic sanctions and a 500% tariff on goods imported from countries that import Russian oil. Despite the support from both chambers of Congress, the final call on these sanctions rests with President Donald Trump, who is known for his assertive foreign policies and politics.
