""President Trump's strong speech and post today show why he's the peace-through-strength President," Senate Intelligence Chair Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) told Axios in a statement. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wrote on X that "Trump is correct in assessing that the Russian economy is under stress and this will only get worse if we make buying cheap Russian oil and gas toxic for those who choose that path." Graham has led the charge on a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill."
"Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) posted: "President Trump and I believe Ukraine can win - a fact President Biden avoided saying for years. It is time to ramp up pressure on Putin to end this senseless bloodshed." Between the lines: Congressional leaders have been waiting on the green light from the White House to move on a broadly bipartisan sanctions package."
Sen. Tom Cotton praised President Trump's speech as demonstrating 'peace-through-strength.' Sen. Lindsey Graham said Trump's assessment that the Russian economy is under stress is correct and warned that making cheap Russian oil and gas purchases toxic will worsen the situation. Sen. Roger Wicker said he and Trump believe Ukraine can win and urged ramping up pressure on Putin to end the bloodshed. Congressional leaders have awaited a White House green light to advance a bipartisan sanctions package. The bill would impose economic sanctions if Putin refuses negotiations and set a 500% tariff on goods from countries that buy Russian oil. Senators are also pushing to label Russia a state sponsor of terrorism over kidnapped Ukrainian children.
