The US Senate announced the possible adoption of sanctions against Russia before August.

A large-scale bipartisan bill on sanctions against Russia, submitted to the U.S. Senate, may be adopted before August of this year. CNN reported this on July 14, citing Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal.

"Blumenthal, one of the key supporters of the bill, stated that, in his opinion, it could be adopted 'before August,'" the publication says.

It is noted that the initiative is being promoted in memory of the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (listed as a terrorist and extremist in the Russian Federation).

Senator Katie Britt said that on the day of Graham's death, he spoke with American leader Donald Trump and called this document the most important achievement of his career.

The Wall Street Journal reported on July 14 that Graham's initiative is focused mainly on China and India and provides for the possibility for President Trump to impose duties of up to 100% on goods from these countries. It was noted that the bill could be submitted to the US Congress as early as this week.

On July 14, the American leader said that Iran and the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah could be included in Graham's draft on sanctions against Russia. In addition, Trump called the chances of adopting a bill being finalized in Congress to tighten unilateral sanctions against Russia high. However, he noted that the key provisions of this document have not yet been discussed with him, and he should consider it.
