A bipartisan bill in the U.S. Senate would grant President Trump expanded authority to impose tariffs connected to sanctions, according to the NYT Business.

The proposal would specifically allow tariffs on the biggest importers of Russian energy.

If enacted, the bill would broaden the tools available to the administration to pressure Russia through trade measures aimed at major participants in the Russian energy supply chain.

The legislation is framed as part of a broader sanctions effort, with the tariff power focused on enforcement against Russian energy imports.
