US Senate set Tuesday vote on Russia-Iran sanctions bill

What's new: The measure could let President Donald Trump levy tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy, including India, Japan and some EU countries.

The U.S. Senate is set to begin voting Tuesday on broad legislation targeting Russia and Iran, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Washington for meetings on Capitol Hill and the funeral of Senator Lindsey Graham. The bill would sanction Russian officials and expand economic pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, while also adding Iran measures that Trump requested. If enacted, it would give Trump authority to impose tariffs as high as 100% on countries that keep buying large volumes of Russian oil and gas. That provision has drawn resistance from some Democrats, who argue it could raise import costs and strain ties with U.S. allies, potentially complicating passage in both chambers.
