by US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

“While tariffs make wars more likely, embargoes make wars difficult to avoid. Senator Lindsey Graham’s Sanctioning Russia Act calls for 500% tariffs on dozens of countries and essentially amounts to an embargo. If this bill were to pass, it would cause an economic calamity on a scale never before seen in our country.” (05/21/25)
