❗️ Trump signed a bill on "hellish sanctions" against the Russian Federation
The document gives the U.S. president the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the largest buyers of Russian energy resources, and to set duties of up to 500% on imports from the Russian Federation.
However, it should be noted that this does not guarantee mandatory imposition of sanctions: the president can still decline to apply them if he provides Congress with a written justification for his decision. He does not need to obtain Congress's consent to do this.
In other words, Trump effectively decides himself whether to impose the sanctions or not – only if he refuses must he explain the reason for that decision to Congress.
Overall, Trump now has 30 days to either impose the sanctions or formalize exemptions from them – approximately until 18 October.
