US House overwhelmingly passes bill giving Trump greater power to sanction Russia and its enablers
The US House of Representatives has passed legislation by an overwhelming majority giving the president expanded authority to impose harsher sanctions on Russia and its so-called enablers. The bill, reported by The Guardian, marks a rare moment of cross-party alignment on Russia policy and reflects Washington’s sustained hard line toward Moscow. The new authorities are expected to significantly broaden the toolkit available for targeting Russian individuals, entities and third-country supporters, with knock-on effects for global energy markets, supply chains and geopolitics.
