In a letter to Democratic colleagues, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the U.S. House of Representatives is “exploring strong legislation” to ban imports of Russian oil.
The legislation would “further isolate Russia from the global economy,” she wrote.
“Our bill would ban the import of Russian oil and energy products into the United States, repeal normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus, and take the first step to deny Russia access to the World Trade Organization. We would also empower the Executive branch to raise tariffs on Russian imports,” she said.
The House will vote on aid to Ukraine this week totaling $10 billion in humanitarian, military and economic support.
...without increasing our domestic oil production....
This just gets better and better.
