一名白宫官员周一对美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)表示,唐纳德·特朗普总统将支持通过由已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆牵头制定的两党俄罗斯制裁法案。
此次背书恰在格雷厄姆意外去世数日后,这无疑将进一步扫清这项南卡罗来纳州参议员耗时多年推动最终落地的法案的推进障碍。
格雷厄姆与民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔此前曾透露,拜登政府准备支持该法案,并于周五表示,双方在多轮谈判后达成了共识。但当时尚不清楚特朗普是否会直接表态支持该法案,因为这位总统此前曾多次抨击这项立法,并主张在实施制裁方面应拥有更多直接裁量权。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周一早些时候表示,白宫此前一直在与格雷厄姆就该法案密切合作,并告诉CNN他对此持乐观态度。
“参议院需要两党议员共同努力,但我有信心我们能够促成此事,”他说道。
图恩表示,在格雷厄姆的最后时日里,这项制裁法案是“他最在意的一项政绩,如果能顺利通过,无疑将成为他留下的一份非凡政治遗产”。
在另一场采访中,布卢门撒尔告诉CNN,他计划周一下午与图恩就法案最终准备工作和投票时间安排进行沟通,包括寻找接替格雷厄姆担任法案牵头共和党议员的人选。
该制裁法案将为特朗普对购买俄罗斯石油、铀和天然气的国家进口商品征收高额关税扫清障碍,以期在俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争期间进一步削弱莫斯科的实力。
“为纪念格雷厄姆参议员,我们应迅速推进这项法案,这是对他恰如其分的致敬,”布卢门撒尔说道,“这正是我上周末与他最后一次通话时我们所讨论的内容。”

Trump backs Russia sanctions package spearheaded by Graham

President Donald Trump will support the passage of a bipartisan Russia sanctions package that was spearheaded by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, a White House official told CNN on Monday.
The endorsement comes days after Graham’s unexpected death, likely further smoothing the path for a bill that the South Carolina senator spent years working to push across the finish line.
Graham and Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal previously indicated the administration was prepared to back the package, saying Friday that they reached an agreement following extensive negotiations. Yet it was unclear at the time whether Trump would directly support the bill, as the president had repeatedly panned the legislation and pushed for more direct discretion on imposing sanctions.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune earlier on Monday said the White House had been working closely with Graham on the measure, telling CNN that he has hopeful.
“It’ll take Democrats and Republicans here in the Senate to do that, but I’m hopeful we can make it happen,” he said.
Thune said that in Graham’s last days, the sanctions package was “the thing that he cared the most about in terms of an accomplishment, and it would certainly be an incredible legacy for him.”
In a separate interview, Blumenthal told CNN that he planned to speak with Thune on Monday afternoon about the final preparations and timing for the bill’s passage, including finding a new Republican to take Graham’s place as its lead sponsor.
The sanctions package would clear the way for Trump to impose heavy tariffs on imports from nations that buy Russian oil, uranium and natural gas, in an effort to further weaken Moscow amid its war with Ukraine.
“It should be seen as a fitting tribute to Sen. Graham to do it quickly in his memory,” Blumenthal said. “It’s exactly what we were talking about when I last spoke to him over the weekend.”
