U.S. House Adds Russia Debt Sanctions to Defense Policy Bill
(Bloomberg) — The U.S. House backed a provision that would extend the ban on Americans buying or selling newly issued Russian sovereign debt to secondary markets to punish Moscow for interfering in U.S. elections.
The measure, written by Representative Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, and adopted by voice vote, will be included in the annual defense policy bill that is expected to pass the House with wide bipartisan support later this week. Its prospects in the Senate are unclear.

The provision is one of several sanctions amendments in the House that threaten to revive investor concerns about possible new restrictions on Russia.
