U.S. House to Vote Next Week on Lindsey Graham's 'Hellish' Sanctions Bill Against Russia

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote next week on a bill imposing severe sanctions on Russia, authored by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The bill, which passed the Senate in August, allows President Trump to impose 100-percent tariffs on the five largest buyers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, as well as on the five countries most actively helping Russia evade its energy sanctions. China, India, and Turkey are among the main targets. The bill has faced resistance due to concerns about expanding Trump's tariff powers and increasing oil prices, but House leaders have decided to push it forward.
