Finnish PM Condemns Trump’s Effort to Undermine Russia Sanctions
Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo expressed concern over a weakened US Russia sanctions bill, urging its swift and complete passage to pressure Vladimir Putin into negotiations. Reports indicate President Trump is influencing the Senate to soften the legislation, which could impose a 500% tariff on countries continuing to import Russian resources. Orpo plans to discuss this at the upcoming NATO summit, emphasizing the need for immediate action. The bill, spearheaded by Senators Graham and Blumenthal, is currently subject to negotiations with the White House.
