US Congress Passes Sweeping Russia Sanctions Bill, Sends to Trump
The Story
The US Congress has approved a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia, sending the legislation to President Donald Trump for final approval.
Lawmakers aim to increase pressure on Moscow over its war in Ukraine. The House passed the bill, which includes provisions for broad new sanctions designed to squeeze Russia's economy. India has stated it will take 'all necessary measures' to protect its economic interests following the passage of the bill, which includes a potential 100% tariff on certain goods.
The bill's passage comes as Washington seeks to exert greater influence on international affairs. The specific details of the sanctions and their potential impact on global trade, particularly concerning India, remain a focus. The legislation now awaits President Trump's action.
