The US House of Representatives passed legislation late Wednesday banning imports of Russian oil, gas and other energy products in the latest move against Russia’s war on Ukraine.
It also paves the way for further isolating Russia from the world’s economy by reviewing Moscow's access to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The bill also reauthorizes and strengthens the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allows the US government to sanction foreign government officials implicated in human rights abuses anywhere in the world.
It passed the House with 414 votes in favor and 17 against and now goes to the Senate before being signed into law by President Joe Biden.
