The United States House of Representatives is exploring “strong legislation that will further isolate Russia from the global economy”. This was stated in the letter of the U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to her colleagues from the Democratic Party.

“Our bill would ban the import of Russian oil and energy products into the United States, repeal normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus, and take the first step to deny Russia access to the World Trade Organization. We would also empower the Executive branch to raise tariffs on Russian imports" - stated in the letter. 

 As reported previously, the USA holds negotiations with Venezuela and Persian Gulf countries to arrange an oil supply to the U.S. and European countries to make up for the lost supply from Russia.
