| https://gwenmoore.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=5975 | Congresswoman Gwen Moore Statement on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 | 2026-09-16 | 2026 | 2026-09 | Democrat | House | WI | Gwen Moore | M001160 | gwenmoore.house.gov | gwenmoore | https://gwenmoore.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | “I continue to support Ukraine as they fight to protect their country and sovereignty against a brutal Russian invasion. We can and must put economic pressure on the bad actors driving this invasion, including Putin’s cronies and those supporting the Russian oil industry. This Administration has squandered many opportunities to use existing sanction authorities to press Russia. In fact, after starting a war with Iran, the Trump administration relaxed existing sanctions on Russia, further fueling the Russian war machine. I will oppose this legislation because it does not ensure the Trump administration will take action against Putin’s unchecked war in Ukraine. It also includes an extension of existing Iran sanctions that would easily pass with bipartisan support if brought to the Floor as a stand-alone bill. Instead of expanding Trump’s tariff powers, the Republican-led Congress should be reining him in. Amid a cost-of-living crisis, Trump’s tariffs have already spiked costs for working families and created chaos for small businesses. Not to mention, the Supreme Court ruled that some of Trump’s tariffs were illegal. There is a better way to support our ally Ukraine that doesn’t involve emboldening a rogue President, like with the Ukraine Support Act.” | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
