US House passes first major Russia oil sanctions in two years; bill heads to Senate

The US House of Representatives has passed a comprehensive sanctions package targeting Russia, including provisions for up to 100% tariffs on countries purchasing Russian energy. This legislation, now awaiting President Trump's signature, significantly escalates economic pressure on Moscow, but its enactment and enforcement remain uncertain. India has publicly rejected the tariff threat, vowing to protect its energy security and warning of potential damage to US-India relations.
