House schedules vote next week on authorizing 100% tariffs on Russian oil buyers

The Senate-passed measure also mandates sanctions on Russian leaders, defense collaborators, and shadow-fleet tankers.

The House Rules Committee set Monday consideration for the White House-backed measure, though some House Democrats oppose granting Donald Trump excessive tariff authority.

Behind the vote:

  • The Senate approved the legislation in August with overwhelming bipartisan support.
  • Volodymyr Zelenskyy (President, Ukraine) urged immediate action on Friday, stating that sanctions must be strong.
