Congress overwhelmingly approved suspending normal trade relations with Russia and banning oil imports. The Senate unanimously passed two bills that will now go to President Biden for signing, following his previous executive actions against Russian energy imports.

President Joe Biden banned all Russian oil imports to the US, aiming to economically punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The move follows Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's request and will likely lead to higher fuel prices for Americans, with Biden stating that "defending freedom is going to cost."
