Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported7m ago
The United States Congress has passed a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia, marking the first time in over two years that the legislative body has approved measures in support of Ukraine.
The newly passed legislation grants the president the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on major international buyers of Russian oil and natural gas. This provision carries significant global implications, as it could potentially apply to major economies such as China and India.
