🚨 The U.S. House just passed a landmark bill granting President Trump sweeping authority to slap up to 100% tariffs on countries buying Russian energy.
The secondary sanctions measure targets Moscow's economic lifeline, hitting the foreign buyers funding Russia's war effort.
Here is what the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act means for global trade and geopolitics:
Under the bill, the President gains direct statutory power to impose severe tariffs scaling up to 100% on the top energy importers still purchasing Russian crude oil and natural gas.
Major economies like China and India are directly in the crosshairs. Both nations significantly expanded their imports of cheap Russian crude following Western sanctions. This legislation forces a brutal choice: cut off Russian energy or face aggressive economic penalties accessing U.S. markets.
The bill also targets the covert networks sustaining Moscow's exports, penalizing the "shadow fleet" of tankers and third-party facilitators evading international price caps.
By passing both the Senate and the House, the bipartisan measure moves straight to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law.
Energy markets are bracing for massive recalibration as global supply chains face an aggressive wave of secondary trade enforcement.
