Ukraine war: US Congress passes law for Russia sanctions
Will there soon be new US sanctions against Russia? 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, would impose sanctions on Russian politicians and companies, as well as limit Russian oil and gas exports. US President Donald Trump is expected to sign the bill, which previously passed the Senate with a significant majority.
The legislation could strain US trade relations with China and India, which are major buyers of Russian energy.
