Trump admin. to back tariffs on Russian oil in effort to end Ukraine war, sources say

The Trump administration is supporting a bipartisan bill that would impose heavy tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil, aiming to increase economic pressure on Moscow to end its four-year war in Ukraine, according to sources cited by CBS News. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) confirmed that the White House has endorsed the latest draft of the sanctions legislation.

While the exact timeline for implementation remains unclear, the bill seeks to leverage economic measures to influence Russia’s actions. Additional diplomatic progress was noted, including Ukraine’s successful negotiations with Trump regarding military equipment and drone purchases.
