Bipartisan bill barring U.S. purchase of Russian oil on the horizon: Fitzpatrick

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) announced on Saturday that he will introduce a bipartisan bill to prohibit the United States from purchasing Russian oil. The legislative effort is designed to prevent President Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian petroleum during global fuel shortages.

The proposed measure seeks to codify a permanent ban on Russian oil imports through bipartisan legislative action, ensuring that federal policy remains strict regarding energy sanctions regardless of shifting market pressures or executive decisions.
