- The House passed a sweeping Russia sanctions bill Thursday, sending the long-awaited legislation to President Trump's desk.
- The measure would significantly expand economic pressure on Russia while granting Trump fresh authority to impose secondary tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian goods.
Why it matters: The bill gives the president a potent economic tool — up to 100% tariffs on any country still purchasing Russian exports — raising the cost for nations maintaining trade ties with Moscow while leaving the decision to wield that leverage entirely in Trump's hands.
