U.S. Senator Seeks House Approval for Broad Sanctions Bill on Russia
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal expressed optimism that a broad sanctions bill targeting Russia will pass the House next month. The bill aims to curb President Vladimir Putin's war funding by sanctioning top Russian officials and allowing tariffs on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, including China and India, while exempting European allies. Blumenthal, who met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv, said Zelenskiy agreed to lobby U.S. lawmakers for support. Some Democrats have concerns about potential tariff powers granted to former President Trump.
