Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1)

Bill Summary

Requires 500% tariffs on Russian goods, visa bans on Russian officials, and financial sanctions on Russian banks.

Why It Matters

With 153 cosponsors, this bill creates powerful automatic consequences if Russia refuses a just peace, transforming the threat of sanctions from a diplomatic talking point into a legally binding deterrent.
