Fitzpatrick plans bipartisan bill to block US purchases of Russian oil

Rep.

Brian Fitzpatrick, a Republican from Pennsylvania, says he plans to introduce a bipartisan bill on Russian oil.

The proposed bill would block any purchases of Russian oil by the United States.

Fitzpatrick says it is intended to stop President Trump from lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

He says the plan comes amid global fuel shortages.

The proposal is to be called the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act.

Fitzpatrick announced the plan, but the available information does not say that the bill has been introduced or describe what happens next.
