US House to vote on Russia sanctions backed by late Senator Graham
The measure would let President Donald Trump impose tariffs of up to 100% on top buyers of Russian energy and expand sanctions on Russian leaders and banks.
- The House of Representatives plans to vote next week on a sweeping Russia sanctions bill, though passage remains uncertain despite the Senate's overwhelming 86-11 support.
- Authored by the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act passed the Senate on August 7, 2025, aiming to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
- Under the proposal, President Donald Trump could impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest purchasers of Russian energy, while the bill also sanctions major financial institutions including the Central Bank and Gazprombank.
- Some House Democrats and business groups fear the measure grants the administration excessive tariff authority, warning it could trigger higher oil prices or strain relations with China and India.
- With House lawmakers expected to leave Washington next week for midterm campaigning, the bill faces a narrow window for passage before legislative activity stalls indefinitely.
