Ukraine war: US Congress passes law for Russia sanctions
Will there be new US sanctions against Russia soon? A law to this effect has now passed the US parliament. The move could also strain relations with China.
The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of a sanctions bill aimed at pressuring Russia over the Ukraine war, with a bipartisan majority of 262 to 159 votes. The bill, named after Senator Lindsey Graham, who died in July, would impose sanctions on Russian politicians and companies, and limit Russia's oil and gas exports. US President Donald Trump has indicated his support for the bill, which now heads to his desk for signature. The bill also sets the stage for an extension of sanctions against Iran until 2031.
