Kelly votes to suspend oil Russian imports
On Wednesday, Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, voted with 413 representatives to suspend imports of Russian oil due to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The bill prohibits the imports of oil and gas from Russia within 45 days of its enactment.
"The U.S. should not be bankrolling Vladimir Putin and the Russian war machine," Kelly said. "By banning Russian oil and gas imports to the United States, we are ramping up pressure on the Biden administration to allow for increased oil and gas drilling, decreasing our dependence on energy from bad actors like Russia, Venezuela and Iran."
