22 House Lawmakers Urge Trump to Implement Russia Sanctions Law

Twenty-two members of the US House of Representatives are urging President Donald Trump to put into practice a law that provides for sanctions against Russia. The appeal concerns sanctions policy tied to Russia's war against Ukraine and the related peace talks.

The lawmakers argue that using the sanctions and tariff powers contained in the law would force Russian President Vladimir Putin to take peace negotiations seriously.

The headline of the source report also mentions a diesel deal that has drawn criticism from members of both US parties. The available source text gives no further details about that deal, so its terms and the parties involved are not described here.
