House passes Russia sanctions bill, granting Trump 100% tariff authority over Moscow’s energy buyers
The U.S. House passed a sweeping Russia sanctions bill on Wednesday, ending a two-year pause in major Ukraine assistance. The legislation, which passed 262-159, grants President Trump authority to impose 100% tariffs on nations purchasing Russian energy. While supporters view this as a tool to pressure Moscow, critics warn it gives the White House excessive leverage over allies like India and China.
