A bill to prohibit the importation of certain minerals from the Russian Federation.
This bill prohibits U.S. imports of eight specific minerals (including copper, nickel, and platinum) produced in Russia or by Russian entities, starting 90 days after enactment. It directly affects U.S. importers, manufacturers, and businesses relying on these minerals. The ban ends one year after the President certifies Russia has stopped hostilities against Ukraine, but resumes immediately if Russia resumes attacks during a three-year monitoring period. The President cannot waive this prohibition under any circumstances.
