A bill to prohibit the importation of critical minerals from the Russian Federation.

S 5052 prohibits the import of critical minerals extracted in Russia into the United States after the bill's enactment. It directly affects U.S. importers and businesses relying on Russian-sourced minerals for industries like clean energy and manufacturing. The bill implements this ban using the definition of "critical minerals" established in the Energy Act of 2020 (30 U.S.C. 1606(a)), which includes minerals vital to national security and economic interests. This is a concrete policy change that would block mineral imports from Russia, with no exemptions specified in the text.
