US Senate to vote on bill granting Trump broad Russia tariff authority

A bill co-authored by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, granting President Trump broad authority to tariff Russia and its trading partners, faces a Senate vote this week. Proponents argue it strengthens leverage over Moscow in the Ukraine war, while some Democrats oppose delegating more tariff power to the president. The outcome is uncertain amid intra-party and bipartisan pushback, and its passage would mark a significant shift in US sanctions strategy.
