US Senate Reaches Agreement on New Sanctions Package Against Russia

Republican and Democratic senators in the US Senate have reached an agreement to support a bill on new sanctions against Russia and Iran. If this document is adopted, US President Donald Trump will have the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on products imported from countries that purchase Russian oil, gas, and uranium. The aim of this decision is to reduce the covert dependence on Russian energy resources. The agreement is focused on enhancing US global energy security. Currently, the discussion process for the adoption of the bill is ongoing.
