Sanctions
The Senate held a debate on a sanctions bill aimed at countries that buy Russian oil, as part of efforts to cut off funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Senator Welch said he supports tariffs on buyers of Russian oil but argued the bill goes too far by also letting the president impose tariffs on any country accused of helping buyers evade sanctions, and he said he would offer an amendment to remove that provision so the bill covers only actual buyers of Russian oil. He framed the issue as tied to two priorities: ending the war involving Iran and supporting Ukraine.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
