US Congress sends Russia sanctions bill to Trump
The legislation seeks to increase pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine but has not yet taken effect.
US Congress has approved a sweeping Russia sanctions bill and sent it to President Donald Trump for final approval, according to France 24 International.
The measure is intended to increase pressure on Moscow over Russia’s war in Ukraine. It remains subject to presidential action and has not been described as enacted.
Western sanctions against Russia followed its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The latest bill would add to that pressure if approved by the president.
Background reporting described the legislation as bipartisan and said it may authorise tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. Those provisions have not been detailed in the supplied source report.
India has reportedly warned that the proposed tariffs could affect bilateral ties and global energy markets. The material does not confirm whether President Trump will approve or veto the bill.
