[U.S. House of Representatives Delays Russia Sanctions Bill Over Concerns About Tariffs Raising Oil Prices] Jin10 Data, September 4th – The Russia sanctions bill, which previously passed the U.S. Senate with overwhelming support, has now stalled in the House of Representatives. Faced with growing opposition, the review process for the bill is likely to be postponed until after the November elections. Lawmakers are concerned that the bill could expand President Trump's tariff authority and lead to higher oil prices. The bill, introduced by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, grants Trump the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, as well as on countries that help Russia circumvent energy sanctions. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that while all parties support sanctioning Russia, it is essential to ensure the bill passes "in the right way." Currently, some Democratic and Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns about the bill, primarily focusing on the tariff provisions that could expand presidential trade authority and impact energy prices. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast noted that the committee is evaluating whether a shift by Russian crude buyers to alternative sources could potentially drive up oil prices.
