Democrats Join Republicans on Russia Tariffs | Wilmington News
Description
The House just passed a sweeping sanctions bill targeting Russia’s war machine, with surprising bipartisan support — 53 Democrats joining Republicans to give President Trump unprecedented power to slap tariffs on countries aiding Russia in Ukraine. While critics warn of potential abuse, including targeting Ukraine or avoiding Russia itself, supporters argue tariffs are more effective than traditional sanctions. The bill also hits Iran’s energy and weapons sectors, with tariffs up to 500% on Russian goods and 100% on top energy buyers. Senate backers, including Senator Blumenthal, say courts will check any overreach. Now it heads to Trump’s desk for final approval.
