“House Democratic leadership is vocally opposing a Russia sanctions bill set to come to a vote this week, but not all of their members are comfortable taking that stance just yet,” Axios reports.
“Republicans will reportedly need some Democratic votes to make up for defections from their isolationist wing and pass the measure.”
“At issue for many Democrats is that the bill, named in honor of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would allow the Trump administration to impose up to 100% tariffs on the five top importers of Russian oil.”
