US Russia Sanctions Bill Faces Opposition, Impacting India and Others
A US Senate bill proposing sanctions on Russia, including 100 tariffs on major buyers like India, China, and Turkey, faces opposition in the House and is unlikely to advance before the November midterms. Critics, including Congressman Gregory Meeks, argue the bill grants excessive tariff powers to President Trump. India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar emphasized that the Russia-Ukraine conflict requires dialogue and diplomacy rather than sanctions tied to energy purchases. The bill’s progress remains uncertain amid political disagreements.
