House Passes Sweeping Russia Sanctions Bill, Sending It to Trump. The US House passed a major sanctions bill targeting Russia, sending it to President Donald Trump for approval. The legislation passed 262 to 159, with 58 Democrats joining most Republicans in supporting the measure. Named after late Senator Lindsey Graham, the bill targets Russia's energy, defense industries, and sanctions-evading tanker fleet. It also allows Trump to impose tariffs reaching 100% on countries buying Russian oil and gas. The bill extends sanctions against Iran, while supporters say it could deprive Moscow of funds financing its war. Critics warn the legislation gives Trump excessive tariff powers, potentially raising prices for American consumers before elections. The Senate approved the measure last month by 86 to 11, following strong bipartisan support for Ukraine. Supporters believe the bill sends Russia a message that Washington still backs Ukraine and wants lasting peace.
