House Schedules Vote on Russia Sanctions Bill
House Schedules Vote on Russia Sanctions Bill
The News
The House will vote next week on a bill imposing tougher sanctions on Russia, months after the measure cleared the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support.
House leaders have scheduled a vote next week on legislation to escalate sanctions on Russia, according to Bloomberg, which cited a person familiar with the plans. Reuters, The Hill and Politico reported the same timing.
The House Rules Committee will meet Monday to take up the bill, The Hill reported — the procedural step that sets the terms of floor debate.
The measure was championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and is backed by President Trump. It passed the Senate last month with overwhelming bipartisan support.
Why It Could Stall
Politico reported the Senate-passed bill faces obstacles in the House, where many Democrats worry it would hand the White House too much tariff authority.
Timeline
The Senate passes the Russia sanctions bill with overwhelming bipartisan support, The Hill reported.
Bloomberg reports the bill has been scheduled for a House vote next week, citing a person familiar with the plans. Reuters, The Hill and Politico confirm the House will take up the measure.
The House Rules Committee meets to consider the bill, according to The Hill.
Reactions
Trump backs the legislation, The Hill reported.
Many House Democrats are wary of it, according to Politico, on the grounds that the bill would give the White House too much authority over tariffs.
Just the News noted that Graham, before his death, had pushed for a significant escalation of the sanctions the United States has already imposed on Russia since the start of the Ukraine war.
What's Next
The Rules Committee meeting Monday is the next formal step. A floor vote is expected sometime next week.
If the House passes the bill without changes, it would head to Trump's desk. Any changes would send it back to the Senate.
More
The United States has already imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia since the beginning of the Ukraine war, Just the News reported. Graham's bill was written to push those measures considerably further.
