What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
The legislation allows Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that make “new purchases of crude oil or natural gas” originating from Russia, or any country among the top five importers of Russian oil or gas over the last 12 months.
The sanctions target Russian political officials and oligarchs, banks and financial institutions, and Russia's so-called "shadow fleet" -- hundreds of tankers used to evade sanctions -- according to the bill.
China and India became Russia’s biggest customers for oil after Moscow’s full-out invasion of Ukraine, with India importing at least 88 per cent of Russia’s crude oil.
The bill also includes the potential to expand sanctions on Iran, and comes amid growing concerns from the U.S. over the relationship between Moscow and Tehran.
