This legislation, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, is feared to grant President Trump increased authority to impose broader tariffs, potentially causing economic instability. The bill, which passed with a vote of 261 in favor to 159 against, seeks to deplete the financial resources necessary for Russia's ongoing conflict in Ukraine. If enacted, the bill will be forwarded to President Trump for signature.",
