Mr. Trump delays the bill to impose 500% tax on Russian partners

Mr Trump's stance has prevented US Senators from pushing for a bill to sanction Russia.

The latest effort in the US Congress to strengthen sanctions on Russia, led by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, has stalled due to former President Donald Trump's stance, according to RT.

The bill is described as aimed at destroying the Russian economy, with a 500% tax on countries buying energy, uranium and raw materials from Russia. The document, which has been supported by more than 80 US Senators, is enough to overcome voting rights, but many lawmakers are still reserved about the possibility of facing Mr Trump.

Mr. Trump said he has not reviewed the bill and only considered sanctioning Russia at the right time. This stance has delayed the draft law's approval process in June, although Graham had previously planned to push the document ahead of the G7 summit in Canada from June 15-17.

On social network X, Senator Graham affirmed that he has worked closely with the White House from the beginning, while emphasizing the bill to provide more tools for Mr. Trump in his policy towards Russia. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a bill co-sponsor, said the two are continuing to adjust the content to make the document more in line with the White Houses view.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Trump said he has term in mind to decide on action if it is not possible to reach a peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev. He also expressed his willingness to impose sanctions on both Russia and Ukraine.

Trump stressed that the Senate sanctions against Russia would be of his guidance, but also suggested that Russia and Ukraine should continue the conflict for a while before separating them. He also expressed concern about Ukraine's UAV attacks on Russian nuclear-powered strategic bombing aircraft, saying this increased the risk of escalation as an excuse for Moscow to retaliate.

Russia has accused Kiev of stepping up attacks to undermine US-backed peace talks. Moscow also said that Mr. Trump is receiving "screening" information from those who promote pro-Ukrainian policies in Washington.
