Sanctioning Russia Act: New Trade and Financial Restrictions
This act imposes broad economic and financial sanctions on Russia if it refuses peace talks with Ukraine, violates agreements, or invades again. US citizens might experience indirect effects, such as changes in prices for certain goods imported from Russia, including energy, and restrictions on Russia-related investments.
Key points
Increased duties on Russian goods and services: Products imported from Russia, including oil, gas, and petroleum products, will become significantly more expensive, potentially affecting their availability and prices in the US.
Prohibition on uranium imports from Russia: This impacts the energy sector, potentially leading to the search for alternative uranium sources.
Financial restrictions: US financial institutions will be prohibited from investing in Russian entities or processing money transfers to Russia, which may complicate some international transactions.
Sanctions on individuals and institutions: US authorities will block assets and deny visas to individuals and companies linked to or supporting the Russian government's actions.
Duties on countries purchasing Russian oil and uranium: Countries that continue to buy Russian raw materials will face higher duties on their products imported into the US, potentially affecting global supply chains.
