Trump backs Lindsey Graham's Russia sanctions bill after senator's death

Following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump says he is ready to advance the long-pending Russia sanctions package that Graham championed for two years.

Former US President Donald Trump has expressed support for the sanctions package that the late Senator Lindsey Graham spent two years trying to pass. Trump stated he is prepared to move forward with the bill. The Senate now needs a new lead sponsor for the legislation, as Graham was its primary advocate. The sanctions target Russia and are part of broader US efforts to counter Russian aggression. Trump's statement came days after Graham's death, highlighting the senator's legacy. The timeline for Senate action remains unclear.
