45-second read · 4 questions answered below

What does this do?

This bill imposes broad economic penalties on Russia over its war in Ukraine and extends existing Iran sanctions. It targets Russian officials, banks, and companies; bars U.S. investment in Russia; cuts off Russian energy and uranium imports; and raises tariffs up to 500% on Russian goods and up to 100% on goods from countries that keep buying Russian oil or gas.

Who does it affect?

It primarily affects the Russian government, banks, and companies, plus foreign firms and countries doing business with them. American businesses, banks, investors, and possibly consumers facing higher prices would also be affected.

Why does it matter?

The measures would cut Russia off from major parts of the U.S. financial system and international trade, with potential ripple effects on global energy prices and import costs. Countries continuing large Russian energy purchases could face new U.S. tariffs.
