The House on Thursday passed a bill that will end permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with Russia and Belarus in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Lawmakers voted 424-8 to back the legislation which, if made law, will allow the Biden administration to impose new higher tariffs on products from Russia and Belarus until Jan. 1, 2024.
