CNN reported on Trump's intention to support the adoption of a package of sanctions against Russia

American leader Donald Trump intends to support the adoption of a package of anti-Russian sanctions initiated by Republican Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham (listed as a terrorist and extremist by Rosfinmonitoring). CNN reported this on July 13, citing a White House official.

"The support came a few days after Graham's unexpected death, which is likely to further facilitate the promotion of the bill, which the senator from South Carolina has been working on for years," the publication says.

It is specified that the adoption of these measures will allow the United States to impose secondary sanctions on states that purchase Russian oil, uranium and natural gas.

According to the newspaper, on Saturday evening, July 11, a few hours before his death, Graham spoke on the phone with Trump. The senator told the American leader about his recent trip to Ukraine and the bill on new anti-Russian sanctions.
