US Congress passes a sweeping package of sanctions targeting Russia after a House vote. The bill is now sent to the president for signature. The measure is described across outlets as the most substantial US legislative effort against Moscow since Donald Trump returned to the White House.
The House approves the bill by a recorded vote. Free Malaysia Today reports the House passes it 262–159. Deutsche Welle says the legislation remains pending the president’s signature and notes that the president has indicated he will sign it. Other aspects of the sanctions’ scope are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but both sources frame the action as a significant legislative step in US policy toward Russia.
With the bill cleared by Congress, the immediate next step is the president’s decision to sign it into law, which would determine when the sanctions take effect. The coverage emphasizes procedure and scale rather than specific implementation details at this stage.
