U.S. lawmaker submits amendment naming India in Russia sanctions act
U.S. lawmakers have filed amendments to a Russia sanctions bill that could hit Indian exporters with 100% tariffs. One amendment names India among countries eligible for these duties; another would remove the tariff section completely. The bill already passed the U.S. Senate 86-11, and the House must clear it before its recess. Watch for updates if you export to America.
