US Congress prepares bill to block Russian oil purchases
Original: US Congress prepares bill to block purchases of Russian oil
US Congress is preparing legislation that would block purchases of Russian oil. The bill would formalize restrictions on importing Russian crude, building on existing sanctions pressure over the war in Ukraine. Lawmakers are seeking to tighten enforcement and close loopholes that allow Russian oil to reach buyers through intermediaries. The measure adds to ongoing debates in Washington over how far to go in restricting Russian energy exports.
Why now: Lawmakers are moving to codify stricter sanctions on Russian energy as the war in Ukraine continues
