Congress approves large-scale Russia sanctions
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a new package of sanctions aimed at increasing pressure on Russia over its war in Ukraine, sending the bill to President Donald Trump for his signature to become law. The legislation includes customs duties of up to 100% on major Russian oil and gas buyers, such as China and India, in an effort to reduce Moscow’s revenue to fund the war. The law also targets Russian energy and defense sectors, as well as high-profile figures like President Vladimir Putin and the "Shadow Fleet" used to bypass Western sanctions. However, the text of the sanctions has sparked division within the Democratic Party, with some members expressing reservations about granting Trump additional trade powers, while most lawmakers voted in favor, with a few Republicans dissenting. Trump is expected to sign the bill into law, further increasing economic pressure on Russia.
