Politico pointed to the freezing of US trade in the event of sanctions against Russia.

The draft anti-Russian sanctions, which is being prepared in the United States, is capable of cutting off the United States from some of the largest economies in the world. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on June 7, citing sources.

It clarifies that the 500% tariffs proposed by Senator Lindsey Graham (listed in the Russian Federation as terrorists and extremists), if imposed against any country that buys energy resources from Russia, will "freeze" the US economy.

"The 500% tariff is, in fact, a strict restriction," Kevin Book, managing director of the research company Clear View Energy Partners, told the publication.

According to Politico, states affected by the sanctions bill that purchase Russian energy resources from the Russian Federation will not be able to immediately abandon supplies. This will also affect the United States itself, which depends on Russia in this industry.

As Edward Fishman, a senior researcher at the Center for Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, noted, new sanctions against Russia could cause "great damage" to the Americans themselves.

On the same day, Bloomberg reported that the US Congress would not pass Graham's bill on new anti-Russian sanctions without the approval of American leader Donald Trump. According to the agency, the bill has about 80 co-authors, which is an "unheard-of" level of bipartisan support.
