US Lawmakers Propose Amendments Naming India in Russia Sanctions Tariff Bill
US lawmakers have proposed amendments to the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which passed the Senate 86-11, to name India and other major Russian oil trading partners as eligible for potential 100% tariffs. One amendment, led by Democratic Congressman Steny Hoyer, seeks to explicitly list these countries, while another, by Congressman Gregory Meeks, aims to remove the tariff provision granting the US president authority to impose such duties. The House has limited time before recess to pass the bill, which targets Russia's energy sector and sanctions evasion.
