- Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) announced Saturday he will introduce a bipartisan bill aimed at stopping President Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian oil amid global fuel shortages.
- The proposed legislation would block any and all U.S. purchases of Russian oil.
Why it matters: The bipartisan bill would directly constrain the executive branch's authority to lift Russian energy sanctions, countering the administration's policy direction at a moment when global fuel shortages are driving decisions on Russian supply.
