U.S. House Opens the Door to Tariffs of Up to 100% on Buyers of Russian Energy
đșđž The U.S. House has passed a Russia sanctions bill by a 262â159 vote, sending it to President Trump after earlier approval in the Senate.
đąïž The key market provision allows the president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on certain countries that continue purchasing large volumes of Russian oil and gas. The 100% figure is a ceiling, not a tariff that has automatically been imposed on China or India.
đ If activated, the measure could force further rerouting of Russian oil flows and deepen discounts on Russian crude, while adding a risk premium to non-Russian supply.
đ For markets, the broader risk is renewed trade tension spilling into FX, EM assets and inflation expectations if Washington chooses to use the new tariff authority.
