Europe3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported10m ago
The United States Congress has passed a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia over its war in Ukraine, sending the legislation to President Donald Trump's desk. The measure successfully cleared the Senate in an 86-11 vote last month before receiving final approval in the House, and President Trump has stated he will sign it into law.
The legislation significantly expands economic pressure on Russia and grants President Trump fresh authority to impose secondary tariffs of up to 100 percent on buyers of Russian oil and gas.
