Representatives Michael McCaul, Brian Fitzpatrick and Steny Hoyer introduced a House companion to the Russia and Iran sanctions package after the Senate passed it 86-11. The measure would impose sanctions and tariffs, but its scope of presidential tariff authority could become a point of House debate.
McCaul, Fitzpatrick and Hoyer introduced the House companion while the House was in recess, after the Senate passed the measure 86-11. The legislation would target Russian banks, energy revenues, oligarchs and sanctions-evasion networks, extend Iran sanctions through 2031, and authorize tariffs on Russia and certain countries buying Russian energy. McCaul and Fitzpatrick described the measure as a way to pressure Moscow; Hoyer said it was overdue.
