The Senate passed a sweeping Russia sanctions bill that would give President Donald Trump new power to punish countries that buy Russian oil and gas.
The bill, which passed 86-11, would impose sanctions on Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, state-owned companies and shadow-fleet vessels.
Despite the overwhelming support for the bill, it faced opposition from senators who backed stronger sanctions on Russia but said its tariff provisions gave Trump too much control over trade.
In June, the House passed a separate measure, sponsored by Meeks, that paired Russia sanctions with new aid and loans for Ukraine.
It sanctions parts of the Russian economy but does not give Trump the same tariff authority as the Senate bill.
