US House Passes Sweeping Russia Sanctions Bill Amid Fears Over Tariffs Impact

The US House of Representatives has approved a sweeping Russia sanctions bill, sending it to President Donald Trump for signature. The measure, named after late Sen. Lindsey Graham, targets Russian officials, banks, and key sectors of its economy.

The bill was passed in a 262-159 vote and aims to deprive President Vladimir Putin of the financial resources needed to wage war against Ukraine.

Supporters argue that the tariff provisions will deter countries like China and India from purchasing Russian energy. However, critics fear Trump may use the legislation to target allies in the European Union and elsewhere, leading to higher prices for Americans.
