U.S. House to vote next week on Graham-Blumenthal Russia sanctions bill
The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote next week on the Graham-Blumenthal Russia sanctions bill (H.R. 5334), which would authorize sweeping new sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia's energy sector, defense industry and shadow fleet. The vote follows the recent death of the bill's chief Senate sponsor, Senator Lindsey Graham, and faces bipartisan resistance over its tariff provisions.
