Congressman Proposes Bill to Ban Russian Oil Purchases

October 11, 2026

Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced plans to ban the purchase of Russian oil. The bill will be called the 'Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act' and will be pushed through a signature collection process. This move reflects growing discontent towards Donald Trump within the party. Despite the challenges, Fitzpatrick hopes the bill will pass overwhelmingly. Voting in Congress is anticipated to be difficult due to the limited time remaining.
