Story summary

On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a bipartisan sanctions bill targeting Russia, voting 262-159 to send it to President Donald Trump for signature. The legislation, championed by late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and previously approved by the Senate, aims to restrict funds flowing to Moscow by imposing tariffs up to 100% on countries like China and India that import energy supplies from Russia. It also imposes sanctions on Russian officials, banks, and a shadow fleet of tankers facilitating Russian energy trade. Despite support from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the bill faced opposition from some Democrats who were concerned about expanding Trump's tariff authority, leading to significant division within the party.
