Congressman Steny Hoyer submitted an amendment to the Russia sanctions bill on Monday, aiming to name India among other top trading partners eligible for 100% tariffs if President Trump invokes his authority under the legislation. The original bill, passed by the Senate last month with a vote of 86-11, seeks to sanction Russia's shadow fleet and its oil trade partners but does not explicitly name them. Another amendment proposed by Congressman Gregory Meeks aims to remove the section granting presidential power to impose tariffs on these trading partners entirely. The House has until November 3 before breaking for recess, with just four working days left for amendments to be passed.

Story summary
A U.S. lawmaker submitted an amendment to the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, passed in the Senate on August 7 by a vote of 86-11, that specifically names India as one of Russia's top trading partners. This act aims to impose sanctions on Russian leaders and its energy sector, including its "shadow fleet" vessels used for evading oil sanctions. The amendment seeks to authorize President Trump to impose 100% tariffs on the five largest importers of Russian oil and gas by volume, targeting countries like India and China directly. Before it can become law, the House must pass this bill during their remaining four working days before recess.
