“US Senator Lindsey Graham was literally obsessed with the bill on sanctions against Russia.”
Globalinfo.az reports that his sister, Darline Graham, said this in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
She admitted that she supported the bill in question.
D. Graham said that after her brother took his seat in the Senate and was sworn in during the summer of 2026, he met with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House:
“Lindsey Graham tried to persuade Trump to impose sanctions on Russia and offered to take responsibility for the possible consequences.”
According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump was not eager to take this step.
According to Darline Graham, the late Lindsey Graham insisted on implementing the initiative, which envisaged imposing customs duties of up to 100 percent on the five countries that import the most Russian oil.
The newspaper writes that the US president subsequently suspended the application of most of the sanctions against Russia. This caused disappointment for Darline Graham.
Recall that Senator Lindsey Graham died on July 11 after a brief and sudden illness.
