Says he has 60 co-sponsors of bill to put secondary sanctions on Russian oilPredicts that number will rise to at least 67“It’s clear to me—and I think it’s becoming clear to President Trump—that the Russians are playing games,” The bill would put 500% sanctions on buyers of Russian oil, gas, uranium or other productsThune has made no promises to bring the bill to a voteAt 67 it would be veto-proof, meaning that Trump couldn't stop it.
