Last night, Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) voted in support of H.R. 6968 – the Suspending Energy Imports from Russia Act.  This legislation bans imports of Russian oil into the United States and imposes additional sanctions following Russia’s unprovoked and unjust invasion of Ukraine.

“This bill ends America’s subsidization of Putin’s evil war against the Ukrainian people by terminating U.S. purchases of Russian oil," said Rep. Rouzer.  "It is a good step forward.  However, it is just as important to maximize American energy production so that America can be a net exporter of oil and gas.  This would benefit our European allies by providing them an alternative source of fuel and help drive down the cost of gas at the pump.”
