Senate Passes Russia Sanctions Bill Granting Trump Tariff Power
The measure would let President Donald Trump impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries aiding Russia and buying its oil and gas.
- The Senate overwhelmingly passed a Russian sanctions bill prior to leaving Washington for recess, addressing months of negotiations and delays in the chamber.
- To discourage countries from financing the Russian war effort, the sanctions target specific actions aiding the ongoing conflict and restrict international backing.
- In a 96-1 vote, the Senate approved the bill, demonstrating significant bipartisan support after persistent hang-ups stalled progress for months.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson now faces pressure to round up votes and send the final bill to the White House following the Senate's lead.
- Finalizing the legislation requires additional steps before delivery to the White House, as the sanctions follow long, drawn-out negotiations between chambers.
