Russian Energy Tariffs Passed

House Passes Bipartisan Bill Expanding Tariff Authority to Target Russian Energy

The House of Representatives has passed a bill that gives President Trump new authority to level tariffs and aims to target the largest importers of Russian oil and gas. The legislation is intended to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. The bill passed 262-159, with bipartisan support and some Democrats opposed it for fear of misuse of the tariff authority. The measure is now awaiting President Trump's signature.
