House Votes on Russia Sanctions | Roanoke News

The House braces for a pivotal vote on a sweeping sanctions package aimed at crippling Russia’s war machine, but passage is far from guaranteed—even though it cleared the Senate. The bill grants the President unprecedented power to impose 100% tariffs on top Russian oil buyers like China and India, while also targeting Putin, key Russian officials, and energy infrastructure. Critics, including top Democrats, fear the measure could backfire by harming U.S. allies, urging instead for bipartisan negotiation. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is rallying support, calling it a historic moment, while lawmakers race against the clock before midterms. The vote could also extend Iran sanctions—a move requested by the White House—making this week’s procedural showdown critical for both foreign policy and domestic politics.
