The leaders of the House and Senate committees that oversee trade announced Monday that they had agreed on a bill that would bar imports of Russian energy and suspend normal exchange with Russia and Belarus.
“As Russia continues its unprovoked attack on the Ukrainian people, we have agreed on a legislative path forward to ban the import of energy products from Russia and to suspend normal trade relations with both Russia and Belarus,” House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.), ranking member Kevin Brady (R-Texas), Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and ranking member Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) said in a statement obtained by C-SPAN.
“While Congress needs to do more as congressional leaders with jurisdiction over our nation’s trade policy, we are committed to using the tools at our disposal to stop Russia’s unconscionable and unjust war on Ukraine and hold Belarus accountable for its involvement,” they added.
