USA Expand Sanctions Against Cuba and Russia

The US Senate has approved a bill that includes sanctions against Russia and Iran under the title 'nuclear sanctions' introduced by Senator Lindsey Graham. The bill received 86 votes in favor and 11 against, reports Novaya Gazeta Europe. After the Senate's approval, it requires the consent of the House of Representatives, which returns from its summer recess in September, before the President can sign it into law.

Additionally, The Insider reported that the US is imposing sanctions on Cuban military officials who have purchased weapons from Russia and China. The specific details of these measures were not elaborated in the available sources.

In summary, the bill will grant the President the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries that import large quantities of Russian oil and gas or support Russia in other areas, according to a report by Meduza.
