Episode Details

House Democrats are caught in a political tightrope: they back a Ukraine-supporting bill that slams Russia with sanctions — but it also hands Trump sweeping new tariff powers, sparking fierce backlash. Despite past criticism of his trade tactics, the Lindsey Graham bill grants him authority to slap up to 500% tariffs on Russia and 100% on countries buying Russian energy. Key Dems are voting no over this expansion, even as the bill clears committee and heads to a full House vote — where Democratic support may be crucial. Senate Dems ultimately backed the measure, hoping targeted tariffs will offset the concerns, though isolationist GOP momentum adds pressure.
