OREANDA-NEWS The bill on new US sanctions will be a "sledgehammer" against Russia. This was stated by one of the authors of the document, American Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, as quoted by the Reuters news agency.
"[Russian President Vladimir] Putin understands only force. And the bill on sanctions against Russia is a sledgehammer that has such power," he said.
Earlier, the US Senate approved a bill to tighten sanctions against Russia and Iran. The bill will be considered by the House of Representatives later. The document gives the US president the right to impose 100% duties on the five largest importers of Russian oil and gas. We can talk about China, India, some European countries and Japan.
China has warned that it will take measures to protect itself if the United States passes a bill on new sanctions against Russia.
