Raja Krishnamoorthi Sole Indian-American House Member Supporting Russia Sanctions Bill
Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was the only one among six Indian-American House Democrats to vote in favor of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning of Russia and Iran Act, which passed 262-159. The bill imposes 100% tariffs on the top five buyers of Russian oil and gas, potentially affecting India and China, while exempting US uranium purchases from Russia. Krishnamoorthi, who will retire in January, met with a Ukrainian advocacy group before the vote, expressing support for Ukraine's sovereignty.
