- Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.) said she would keep sanctions on Russia rather than accept President Trump's executive order that waived the penalties.
- Graham said she and Trump share the goal of ending the war and lowering gas and diesel prices, calling the sanctions bill "one of the tools we can use."
Why it matters: A sitting Republican senator publicly diverging from Trump on a Russia policy decision signals intra-party disagreement over the executive waiver. Graham grounded her dissent in shared stated goals — ending the war and bringing down gas and diesel prices — and called sanctions an active tool toward those ends.
