WHAT HAPPENED
On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate passed a broad sanctions bill that targets Russia’s energy sector, giving President Donald Trump the authority to impose tariffs of up to 500% on Russian imports including gas and oil. The legislation was approved in a vote that signals a sharp escalation in U.S. pressure on Moscow.
According to the report from Latest News From Euronews | Euro, the package bars Russian officials, oligarchs, financial institutions, and the so‑called shadow fleet that helps Moscow evade existing export restrictions. The bill also allows the president to levy steep tariffs on Russian energy goods, a move that could severely curtail Russian revenues. The Associated Press report notes that the Senate has also added Iran to the list of targeted entities, a point echoed by a NYT headline that the sanctions bill covers both Russia and Iran.
The legislation reflects growing U.S. concerns over Russia’s energy exports and its broader geopolitical influence, as lawmakers seek to blunt financial support for Moscow’s military and political operations.
