The "Hellish Sanctions" Bill is Stalled in the US Congress — Politico
The prospects for a bill imposing new anti-Russian sanctions in the US House of Representatives appear highly uncertain. Although the Senate previously approved the measure with an overwhelming majority, it faces a lack of necessary political support in the lower chamber.
House leadership has not yet placed the measure on the legislative calendar, and Speaker Mike Johnson is not confident that he will be able to secure enough votes to consider it.
One of the main obstacles remains disagreement within both parties. Some Republicans advocate for increased pressure on Russia, but the conservative wing is reluctant to support further sanctions.
At the same time, Democrats fear that the bill will grant the Trump administration overly broad powers to impose tariffs and sanctions, which could have negative consequences for the American economy. Therefore, it's unlikely to see sustained bipartisan support for the initiative.
Against this backdrop, the likelihood that the bill will be brought to a vote and passed by the House of Representatives in the near future remains low. Intraparty squabbles and a lack of consensus among members of Congress significantly complicate the initiative's progress.
Even with significant support in the Senate, the bill risks stalling in the lower chamber if its supporters fail to overcome existing political differences.
