WSJ: Lindsey Graham’s Russia ‘sanctions’ bill is really a tariffs bill, and some Democrats fear it hands Trump a trade weapon, not a blow to Moscow

Lindsey Graham's late-authored bill initially pitched as a sanctions measure against Russia is drawing attention for its potential to impose hefty tariffs on major Russian oil and gas buyers, particularly China and India. This twist has sparked concern among some Democrats who worry it might provide President Trump with a potent trade weapon rather than an effective strategy to pressure Moscow. The implications could reshape U.S. economic relations with key global players, raising questions about the bill's true intent and long-term impact on international trade dynamics.
