500% duties and more. The US has developed a new plan to take revenge on Russia

Russia faces even greater sanctions
Source:  online.ua

US senators have introduced a bipartisan bill to impose sanctions on the aggressor country of Russia in the event that dictator Vladimir Putin thwarts US President Donald Trump's peaceful efforts to end the war against Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The dominant view in the US Senate is that Russia is the aggressor, and tough sanctions, such as tariffs on countries purchasing Russian products, are necessary to address the ongoing conflict.
  • American leader Donald Trump has shown irritation over Putin's delay in ceasefire negotiations, indicating growing tension between the US and Russia.

Russia faces even greater sanctions

Journalists point out that half of the US Senate, led by Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumenthal, worked on the new sanctions plan.

According to the senators, these restrictions would be put into effect if peace talks fail or an agreement is reached but Russia violates it.

According to the latest data, this primarily concerns 500 percent duties on imported goods from countries that purchase Russian oil, gas, uranium, and other Russian products.

The dominant view in the US Senate is that Russia is the aggressor, and that this terrible war and Putin's aggression must stop now and be restrained in the future, the authors of the new plan emphasized.

According to the senators, sanctions against the aggressor country Russia will include the introduction of tariffs on countries that purchase Russian oil, gas, uranium, and other products.

They are tough for a reason, American politicians noted.

By the way, recently, American leader Donald Trump for the first time expressed irritation over dictator Putin's delay in ceasefire negotiations.

Democratic Senator Booker criticized Trump for over 25 hours straight

Booker's record-breaking speech shocked the world
Source:  CNN

Democratic U.S. Senator Cory Booker broke a record by delivering a speech that lasted 25 hours and 5 minutes, all the while harshly criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump.

Points of attention

  • Booker's achievement of breaking Senator Strom Thurmond's record from 1957 by delivering a longer speech showcases the intense criticism faced by Trump's presidency within the Democratic party.
  • By vowing to speak as long as physically possible with nothing but a Bible verse in his pocket, Senator Booker's speech becomes a symbolic stand against the policies of the Trump administration.

Booker's record-breaking speech shocked the world

Journalists point out that for the first time in history, a Democrat managed to break the record set by the late Senator Strom Thurmond. The latter's speech, which he delivered in 1957, lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes.

Although Booker's speech was not a formal disruption of the vote, it blocked the work of the Senate.

The politician took to the microphone on Monday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, vowing to speak as long as he was "physically able," and, in his words, "with nothing but a Bible verse in his pocket."

The marathon speech by Booker, a member of the Senate Democratic team, came at a time when his party faces growing pressure from its constituents to take a tougher stance against Trump.

During his speech, the politician drew attention to the fact that "the country is in crisis."

In addition, he analyzed in detail many important issues that arose after Donald Trump returned to the White House.

In just 71 days, the President of the United States has done so much damage to the safety of Americans, to financial stability, and to the fundamentals of our democracy. These are not normal times for America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.
