Fitzpatrick plans House push to block Russian oil purchases after Trump’s diesel deal with Putin, predicting the bill will pass overwhelmingly
U.S.Energy
Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania said he would introduce bipartisan legislation to block all purchases of Russian oil, directly challenging President Donald Trump’s agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring diesel to U.S. and global markets.
Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act on September 18, authorizing tariffs of up to 500% on Russian goods. The legislation gives the president tariff authority; it does not itself impose those tariffs.
