Democrats Split Over Russia Sanctions Bill Ahead of House Vote
TL;DR
House Democrats are divided over the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which would authorize the Trump administration to levy up to 100% tariffs on Russia’s five top oil importers. While leadership opposes the bill, centrists like Rep. Jared Golden and Ukraine Caucus members are weighing their votes, and proposed amendments to soften the trade language were blocked as the bill advances to a House vote after Senate approval (86-11).
