A resolution urging the Trump Administration to seize shadow fleet vessels transporting sanctioned oil from the Russian Federation.

SRES 549 is a Senate resolution urging the Trump Administration to seize vessels in Russia's "shadow fleet" that transport sanctioned oil. It directly addresses the executive branch, citing that these vessels (561 ships carrying 60-80% of Russia's oil exports) evade sanctions and fund Russia's war in Ukraine. The resolution condemns shadow fleet operations as undermining U.S. sanctions and calls for seizing such vessels, referencing prior U.S. seizures of similar vessels involved in Iran oil smuggling. It does not create new law but formally urges enforcement action.
