Trump Signs New Sanctions Bill Targeting Russia

Washington D.C. US President Donald Trump on Friday signed the new sanctions bill aimed at increasing economic pressure on Russia due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The law, passed by both houses of Congress, targets Russia's energy and defense sectors, Russian officials, and the 'shadow fleet' of ships used by Moscow to evade sanctions. It also gives the President the authority to impose customs duties of up to 100 percent on major foreign buyers of Russian oil and gas.
