Russia Sanctions Bill Roadblocks Delay US Tariffs on India, China

The United States is thinking about making a new rule called the Russia sanctions bill.

This rule would also let leaders put extra taxes on goods coming from India and China.

Extra taxes like these are called tariffs.

But the new rule cannot happen right away because three things are in the way.

First, the group of people in government who vote on it is on a summer break.

They will not come back until August 31.

Second, a vote in September might happen at the same time as a meeting between President Trump and China's leader, Xi Jinping.

Third, many government members do not like giving leaders so much power over tariffs.

So the new rule may be delayed.
