Congress Makes Russia a Pariah on Trade, Adds Pressure on Putin
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Congress voted overwhelmingly to strip Russia’s normal trade status with the U.S. and ban imports of its gas, oil and coal, adding to the economic squeeze by the U.S. and its allies to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government over the invasion of Ukraine.
It passed the Senate in a very rare 100-0 roll call vote!
The House cleared it 420 - 3, with the only NO votes coming from 3 republicans: Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massie, .... and of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Biden made the remark when discussing recent efforts to address higher gas prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“I’m doing everything within my power by executive orders to bring down the price and address the Putin price hike. Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide half a world away,” Biden said.

The Biden administration on Wednesday unveiled its latest round of sanctions going after Russia over its war on Ukraine, this time targeting a key commercial bank and “a global network of more than 40 individuals and entities led by U.S.-designated Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev.”
In a news release, the US Treasury Department said it was also targeting “companies operating in Russia’s "virtual currency mining industry," reportedly the third largest in the world,” noting it was the first time it has designated a "virtual currency mining company.”
In addition,
the State Department is imposing a slew of visa restrictions, going after 635 Russian nationals “who are involved in suppressing dissent in Russia and abroad, who have been involved in activities that threaten the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and who have been involved in human rights abuses in prison facilities and places of unofficial detention in Russia-controlled areas of the Donbas region of Ukraine,” three Russian officials “for involvement in gross violations of human rights,” and “17 individuals responsible for undermining democracy in Belarus,” according to the Treasury.

The Treasury Department also went after “Public Joint Stock Company Transkapitalbank (TKB)” for being “at the heart of sanctions evasion” and its subsidiary, as well as companies in Russia’s virtual currency mining industry.
“The United States is committed to ensuring that no asset, no matter how complex, becomes a mechanism for the Putin regime to offset the impact of sanctions,” the release issued Wednesday said.
