Tougher Russia Sanctions Bill Advances in US Congress | JQJO

US Senate and House Republican leaders plan to advance a bill imposing stricter sanctions on Russia and those buying its fossil fuels. The bipartisan legislation, introduced by Senators Graham and Blumenthal, proposes a 500% tariff on imports from countries continuing to purchase Russian oil and raw materials. While President Trump initially expressed support, he's reportedly seeking amendments to preserve his foreign policy authority, potentially delaying a vote. The bill aims to send a strong message to Putin, but its final form and passage remain uncertain.
