US Lawmakers Propose Amendments Naming India in Russia Sanctions Bill
US lawmakers have proposed amendments to the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, including one by Democratic Congressman Steny Hoyer that names India among countries eligible for up to 100% tariffs over Russian oil purchases. Another amendment by Congressman Gregory Meeks seeks to remove the tariff provision granting the US president authority to impose such duties. The bill, passed by the Senate, targets Russia's leadership, energy sector, and vessels aiding sanctions evasion, aiming to curb funding for the Ukraine war. The House must pass the bill before the midterm recess.
