US Lawmaker Submits Amendment Naming India in Russia Sanctions Act
Lawmakers advanced rival proposals, including a 100% tariff plan that names India and a separate bid to remove the tariff authority entirely.
- On Monday, the House Rules Committee released amendments to the Russia sanctions bill, explicitly naming India, China, and other nations as potential targets for 100% tariffs on Russian oil trade.
- Last month, the U.S. Senate passed the original Russia sanctions bill by an 86-11 vote, targeting the energy sector and the "shadow fleet" of vessels enabling Moscow to evade oil sanctions.
- Democratic Congressman Steny Hoyer seeks to name specific countries eligible for 100% duties, while Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks moved to eliminate the section granting tariff authority to the President.
- The House has four working days before breaking for midterm elections, meaning these amendments will determine whether India faces proposed tariffs or if the tariff provision is scrapped entirely.
- Separate provisions include $15 billion in Ukraine loans and waiver authority allowing President Donald Trump to suspend sanctions for 90 days if deemed "vital to the national security of the US.
