US President Donald Trump will support the passage of a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill spearheaded by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a White House official told CNN on Monday.
The White House’s endorsement comes just days after Graham’s unexpected death and is expected to further ease the bill’s path through Congress.
The South Carolina Republican had spent years working to advance the legislation, making it one of his signature foreign policy initiatives. Trump’s backing is seen as a significant boost for the bipartisan measure, which seeks to impose tougher sanctions on Russia.
