US Business Groups Urge Senators to Remove Tariffs on India in Russia Sanctions Bill
Nearly two dozen American business associations, including the US Chamber of Commerce and National Retail Federation, have urged US senators to remove tariff provisions from the proposed Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act. The bill authorizes tariffs of up to 100% on India and four other major Russian energy buyers. The groups warned such tariffs could increase costs for US consumers and businesses, create uncertainty, and risk retaliatory measures. They support targeted sanctions and recommend tighter congressional oversight of tariff powers.
