Beyer, Jr. | B001292 | beyer.house.gov | beyer | https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | Rep. Don Beyer, Senior House Democrat of Congress’ Joint Economic Committee, Rep. Gregory Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Rep. Richard Neal, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Ways and Means today issued the following statement after Republican leadership scheduled the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia And Iran Act for a vote in the House next week: “House Democrats are rock solid in our support for Ukraine, but the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia And Iran Act would do more harm than good. This bill would dramatically expand presidential tariff authorities while failing to mandate sanctions on Russia, both of which are unacceptable. These flaws would raise Americans’ prices while undermining support for Ukraine in the long term. “We continue to seek bicameral, bipartisan negotiations to craft a bill that can win strong support in both chambers and deliver on our promise to Ukraine. In the meantime, the President has ample authority to expand sanctions on those fueling Russia’s war machine, including those targeted by this bill, and we renew our call on him to do so without further delay.” | 1 | 2026-09-12T09:02:30Z | 2026-09-12T09:03:27Z |
