100% tariffs: US Senate advances sweeping Russia sanctions as Zelensky lobbies on Capitol Hill?

The US Senate has advanced a sweeping Russia sanctions bill that could impose up to 100% tariffs on countries continuing major purchases of Russian energy, including India, China and others. The move came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met lawmakers on Capitol Hill to push for stronger pressure on Moscow. The legislation, backed by a large bipartisan majority, aims to increase economic pressure on Russia over the Ukraine war while reshaping global energy and trade dynamics. If enacted, the measure could have far-reaching consequences for international markets, strategic partnerships, and countries dependent on Russian oil and gas.
