The bill won an uncommonly strong bipartisan majority that mirrors the more bullish posture toward the Kremlin that Trump took during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington this week. The problem, however, is that the legislation would allow the president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the top buyers of Russian oil and gas, and on countries that facilitate Russian sanctions evasion. “But it gives Trump the flexible tariff authority that the Supreme Court shot down earlier this year.” The energy war between Russia and Ukraine, meanwhile, continues to escalate. In his meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy asked for a “winter package” of Patriot missile interceptors to defend against likely Russian attacks on heating systems later this year, Axios reported.
