A 500% duty law has been prepared in the USA for Russian oil trading

Half of the US Senate – 25 Republicans and 25 Democrats – agreed on Tuesday to impose sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin refuses to participate well in negotiations with Ukraine. One of the punitive measures is in the form of secondary duties of 500% for each country that buys Russian oil and petroleum products.

Leading importers of the legislation – Senator Republican Lindsay Graham and Senator Democrat Richard Bloamal – said it would impose primary and secondary sanctions on Russia and subjects supporting Russian aggression in Ukraine if Moscow does not commit to negotiations or if it undertakes something else that triggers sovereign sovereignty.

Other sanctions are prohibited by US investors from buying Russian state debt bonds, investing funds in Russian state structures, as well as enhancing control over the « shady fleet » of Russian oil tankers.

The bill is a rare example of the two parties in the otherwise sharp division in the US Congress. It comes at a time when President Donald Trump seems to be becoming increasingly impatient with what is beginning to look like a wider agreement with Moscow to end the war, Reuters commented.

The House of Representatives is introduced by the spiritual legislation, also with the support of both Republicans and Democrats.

Although many congressional members from the two parties strongly supported Ukraine, as it is struggling with Russian invaders, an increasing number of Trump’s nearest Republican allies have demonstrated a cool attitude towards Kiev since the party took control of the House of Representatives two years ago, and then the White House and the Senate in January.

Supporters of the bill say it will be accepted with prevailing support in both chambers if the Republican leaders in Congress allow a vote. It is not yet clear when the vote can be held. For 50 importers in the Senate, only one more vote is sufficient to pass the project, and if 60 senators are collected, the procedure becomes shortened and without the possibilities of rubbing or obstruction from the disagreements.

Senators Graham and Bloamal also say they share Trump’s irritation of the Kremlin’s behavior and moves.

« We share the disappointment of President Trump of Russia when it comes to reaching a truce, and supported President Trump’s desire to achieve a lasting, fair and honorable peace. In 1994, as part of the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine will give up approximately 1700 nuclear weapons with the United States and the United States. The future.

« In 2014 and 2015, agreements from Minsk were reached to put an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but again it did not reach anything to deter the future aggression. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine once more, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and the displacement of millions. »

The Kremlin’s response after Trump’s warning that he was losing patience and Putin’s thinking « had taken the wrong direction » was only that « the topic is complex » and contacts with the US side continue. « 

Secondary sanctions – especially on this scale, would hit India, China and countries seriously.
