House Approves Sweeping Legislation on Russia, AI Data Centers Ahead of the Midterms
The sanctions bill would let Trump impose tariffs of up to 100% on top Russian energy buyers, while the AI measure shifts power costs to data centers.
- The House passed two major legislative measures overnight: a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill and the Ratepayer Protection Act targeting energy costs for data centers.
- Named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, the Russia sanctions bill supports Ukraine by allowing the president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major Russian oil purchasers and extending sanctions on Iran.
- Polling from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans are "extremely" or "very" concerned about data center energy impacts. Fifty-three percent worry about broader environmental effects.
- The Russia bill heads to President Donald Trump's desk while the Ratepayer Protection Act moves to the Senate. House Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers home for a seven-week recess, delaying an impeachment vote on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- On Sunday, Trump called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. "He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia," Trump said, claiming the attacks contribute to global shortages.
