US Senators Oppose Proposed 100% Tariffs on India and China in Russia Sanctions Bill
US Senators Rob Wyden and Rand Paul opposed a proposed US Senate bill that could impose tariffs of up to 100% on imports from India, China, and other countries due to their trade with Russia. They warned the legislation would grant the President broad tariff powers, potentially harming US interests, raising consumer costs, and straining relations with key partners. Both senators supported stronger sanctions on Russia but criticized the bill's expansive tariff provisions and lack of congressional oversight.
