Sen. Graham opposes Trump's Russia sanctions waiver

rawstory.com —

Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) publicly opposed President Donald Trump's decision to exempt Russia from sanctions law named after her late brother, Lindsey Graham, according to The New York Times. She stated she does not trust Putin or Russia and prefers pressuring Moscow to end the war. Graham, appointed in July and running for a full term with Trump's endorsement, called the law one of her biggest accomplishments. Trump offered no explanation for the waiver, which followed a brief easing of penalties on Russian diesel amid soaring prices. Graham plans to raise the issue with Trump at a rally next week in South Carolina. Trump released a video Saturday endorsing her, praising her "good genetics" shared with her brother.
