Bill Summary

The proposal would officially label Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, a designation that triggers automatic economic sanctions and restrictions on U.S. military aid and exports to that country. This classification would affect American businesses seeking to trade with Russia, international relations between the U.S. and Russia, and could impact Americans traveling to or doing business in Russia. The designation reflects concerns about Russian government support for groups or activities the U.S. considers terrorist in nature.
