U.S. House Passes Sweeping Sanctions Bill Targeting Russia, Heads to President's Desk

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan sanctions bill aimed at Russia over its ongoing war in Ukraine. The legislation, which had previously cleared the Senate, now moves to President Donald Trump for his signature. The bill includes provisions for tariffs of up to 100 percent on countries importing Russian energy and imposes sanctions on Russian officials, banks, and a 'shadow fleet' of tankers. This marks the first time in over two years that Congress has passed legislation directly assisting Ukraine.
