The revised measure, negotiated with the Trump admin, lowers the cap for the top five buyers of Russian oil and gas from a higher prior level.
An updated Senate Russia sanctions bill would set the maximum secondary tariffs (penalties imposed on third-country trade) on the top five buyers of Russian oil and gas at 100%, down from a higher prior level. The revision was negotiated with the Trump admin, indicating a softer ceiling than earlier versions of the measure while keeping pressure on countries that continue purchasing Russian energy exports.
