Trump ready to ‘crush' Russian economy if Putin avoids Zelenskyy talks: Senator
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that he believes President Donald Trump is prepared to 'crush' Russia's economy with a new wave of sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the coming weeks. Graham, who spoke with Trump on Tuesday morning, has pushed the president for months to support his sweeping bipartisan sanctions bill that would impose steep tariffs on countries that are fueling Russia's invasion of Ukraine by buying its oil, gas, uranium, and other exports. The legislation has the backing of 85 senators, but Trump has yet to endorse it. Republican leaders have said they won't move without him. 'If we don't have this thing moving in the right direction by the time we get back, then I think that plan B needs to kick in,' Graham said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. The Senate, now away from Washington for the August recess, is scheduled to return in September. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Graham's call with Trump came less than 24 hours after high-stakes meetings at the White House with Zelenskyy and several European leaders. Trump and the leaders emerged from those talks sounding optimistic, with the expectation being that a Putin and Zelenskyy sit-down will happen soon. Still, Trump's comments to Graham, one of his top congressional allies, mark the latest sign that pressure is building — not just on Putin, but on Trump as well. 'Trump believes that if Putin doesn't do his part, that he's going to have to crush his economy. Because you've got to mean what you say,' Graham told reporters in South Carolina on Tuesday. As Congress prepares to return to session in early September, the next few weeks could become a defining test of whether lawmakers and international allies are prepared to act on their own if Trump doesn't follow through. Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the lead Democrat pushing the bill with Graham, says there is a 'lot of reason for skepticism and doubt' after the meetings with Trump, especially because Putin has not made any direct promises. He said the Russian leader has an incentive to play 'rope-a-dope' with Trump. 'The only way to bring Putin to the table is to show strength,' Blumenthal told the AP this week. 'What Putin understands is force and pressure.' Still, Republicans have shown little willingness to override Trump in his second term. They abruptly halted work on the sanctions bill before the August recess after Trump said the legislation may not be needed. Asked Tuesday in a phone interview whether the sanctions bill should be brought up even without Trump's support, Graham said, 'the best way to do it is with him.' 'There will come a point where if it's clear that Putin is not going to entertain peace, that President Trump will have to back up what he said he would do,' Graham said. 'And the best way to do it is have congressional blessing.' The legislation would impose tariffs of up to 500% on countries such as China and India, which together account for roughly 70% of Russia's energy trade. The framework has the support of many European leaders. Many of those same European leaders left the White House on Monday with a more hopeful tone. Zelenskyy called the meeting with Trump 'an important step toward ending this war.' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that his expectations 'were not just met, they were exceeded.' Still, little concrete progress was visible on the main obstacles to peace. That deadlock likely favours Putin, whose forces continue to make steady, if slow, progress on the ground in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters after talks at the White House that Trump believes a deal with Putin is possible. But he said sanctions remain on the table if the process fails. — Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard contributed to this report from Florence, S.C.

What's the best budget airline in Europe? An honest review of EasyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air
Nothing puts the size of Europe into perspective like travelling around the continent by plane (even if we'd rather get around by train). What do you mean you can fly over nine countries in a couple of hours? Take one of Europe's many budget airlines, and it might even cost you less than a cab to the airport. Article content European budget airlines abound: Vueling, Iberojet, AeroItalia, and we all know nothing beats a Jet2 holiday. Their fares are shockingly low — a feat made possible by starting with super-low base fares and charging for every possible add-on, from bringing a carry-on bag to sitting next to your travel companion. Article content Article content Article content Article content Article content British carrier EasyJet operates in more than 160 airports in 38 countries. After navigating the complex website that made booking a ticket feel like solving a riddle, I booked a one-way from London Gatwick to Berlin for C$155. It was costlier than many comparable EasyJet flights, but it was the best option for the day I needed to fly. The fare did not include any luggage. I'd read on the website that all passengers can bring one small under-seat cabin bag free, so I rolled the dice on how strict that policy could be. Article content I could check in online, and I got through the airport without issue. But at the gate with my duffel bag and a purse, my prospects didn't look good. Each passenger's bag was examined before entering the waiting area, and I watched other travellers argue with gate agents over charges for their carry-ons being too large. I was hit with a C$89 fee for exceeding my allotment. Article content Article content The legroom in economy was decent, an entire hand's length between my knees (I'm 5-foot-4) and the seat back — better than my recent Norse experience — but I got lucky with a random upgrade to an emergency row with even more space to spare. Article content Pros: Clean and professional. Article content Cons: Overly complicated website. Article content Ryanair Article content Hands-down the most cutthroat social media account in the corporate world, Ryanair takes cheap flights to another level — like a Dublin-to-Frankfurt, round-trip (sans baggage) ticket for September for C$59. It's also the largest budget airline in Europe, with more than 3,600 flights daily to 37 countries. Article content My one-way basic fare from Barcelona to Lisbon was C$107, which only included a personal item that must be small enough to fit under a seat. I decided to upgrade to a package including another cabin bag and priority boarding for C$37. Ryanair warns that passengers will be charged about C$137 at the gate for bringing an extra cabin bag or having one that won't fit in the bag sizer (about 15 x 7 x 9 inches) — and if you have a connecting flight, you'll have to pay that for each leg.
