Russia's Economic Noose Tightens Under Trump's Pen The recent signing of a sweeping sanctions bill by US President Donald Trump marks a significant escalation in the economic pressure campaign against Russia, following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

At the heart of this legislation is a concerted effort to strangle Russian oil and gas sales, which have become a lifeline for the country's economy.
