MARKET UPDATE | GEOPOLITICAL ALERT
🇺🇸 US may allow up to 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian oil
President Donald Trump has greenlit a bipartisan bill — Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 — allowing it to move forward in the U.S. Congress.
If approved, the bill could empower the U.S. to impose tariffs of up to 500% on imports from countries that continue purchasing Russian oil, gas, or uranium.
⚠️ Important clarification:
This is proposed legislation, not yet law.
