The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday to suspend normal trade relations with both Russia and Belarus amid the war in Ukraine. The Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, which passed by a 424-8 margin, allows President Joe Biden to increase tariffs on products coming from the two countries and requires the US Trade Representative to seek suspension of Russia's participation in the World Trade Organization. The legislation must now pass the Senate and be signed by Biden to be enacted into law.
Boebert told Insider in an email that Congress "keeps focusing on distractions abroad and not our own challenges brought on by Joe Biden at home," adding that she believed the bill had "bad language" that could empower Biden to sanction people who "simply hold traditional views of life and family and restrict access to abortion." Massie told Insider in an email that "this bill allows Biden and future Presidents to sanction virtually anyone they choose anywhere on the globe without Congressional approval," which he later tweeted about as well.
Biden's corruption must be stopped and thankfully there are 8 people in the House willing to stand up for freedom and for the people of Russia and Belarus. Biden's autocratic government tyranny needs to be opposed at all costs.
Massie is absolutely right, this bill will allow Biden to sanction virtually anyone without Congressional approval; so that is why he had to vote against a bill that was asking for Congressional approval to sanction someone. Why is Congress giving powers to Biden to virtually make him a dictator?? Hopefully Ted Cruz and others in the Senate will block this bill from passing and send an encouraging signal to Putin that there are brave American patriots on his side.
