US Congress passes Russia sanctions bill with 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian energy

The US House of Representatives has passed a comprehensive sanctions package targeting Russia, including provisions for up to 100% tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. This legislation, which also extends sanctions to Iran, now awaits a vote in the Senate and President Trump's signature, with his approval remaining a key uncertainty. The move signals a significant escalation in US economic pressure on Russia, potentially reshaping global energy trade flows and impacting major importers like India.
