US Congress Passes Russia Sanctions Bill, India, China Face 100% Tariffs
The Republican-led House of Representatives passed the package by 262-159, giving a final congressional green light to the most substantial US legislative effort against Moscow since Trump returned to office.
On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed two anti-fraud bills, with both Republican and Democratic support. These measures aim to enhance federal oversight of taxpayer-funded programs and establish a new division within the Department of Justice. The measures will now move to the Senate for consideration. The National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026 (H.R.
9576) was introduced by Republican Brad Finstad and would create the DOJ's National Fraud Enforcement Division, responsible for investigating large-scale fraud involving federal funds. The other bill, the Preventing Rip-offs and Obtaining Oversight of Funds (PROOF) Act (H.R. 10326), introduced by Jeff Van Drew, would require states to disclose data from government-funded programs to assist federal investigators in identifying misuse of funds.
