Russia Sanctions (Executive Session)
The Senate debated legislation on Russia sanctions described by its backers as imposing tariffs on countries that buy Russian energy and thereby help fund the war in Ukraine. Senator Young, a Republican, said the bill originated with Senator Graham and is meant to make continuing the war too costly for Russia, arguing that countries selling goods in America should stop buying Russian energy and that clear rules are needed so the pressure works. Senator Warnock, a Democrat, asked that a letter from the U.S. Trade Representative be printed in the official record, which was agreed to.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
