A US congressman has drafted legislation to ban US imports of Russian oil and other petroleum-based energy products in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Tom Cole, a member of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT), last week introduced the Prohibition on Imports of Russian oil act.
“By currently purchasing approximately 700,000 barrels of Russian oil and other petroleum products per day, the US is indirectly funding Putin’s war chest, which is absolutely unconscionable,” the Oklahoma congressman said.
