Trump Not Giving Graham Green Light To Usurp Presidential Sanction Power

Trump’s lack of enthusiasm for the Lindsey Graham/Richard Blumenthal-sponsored “draconian” sanctions bill against Russia may have brought it to a halt. According to a report posted by Bloomberg yesterday, despite having a veto-proof majority, supporters show no sign they’re ready to challenge the President. Trump’s comments on June 5—he said he hadn’t even looked at the bill, but will do what he wants “at the right time”—put the brakes on what had seemed to be an accelerating push to advance the proposal as soon as this month.
