Why It Matters
The bill passed the US Senate and House of Representatives and is sent to the president for signature.
The bill on sanctions against Russia was not adopted in order to put pressure on Moscow, since this goal is still unattainable. Democrat Chuy Garcia, who voted against it, confirmed this on social media X.
“The bill does not increase pressure on Russia, but instead gives Trump unlimited powers to enact tariffs,” he emphasized.
159 lawmakers opposed the initiative: seven Republicans and 152 Democrats. At the same time, 262 congressmen supported the document, which allowed it to pass the House of Representatives. The bill was previously approved by the Senate, so it is now sent to US President Donald Trump for signature.
