Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This bill bans, starting 90 days after enactment, U.S. imports of certain minerals (platinum group metals including palladium, braggite, rhodium, ruthenium; nickel; copper ores and concentrates including zinc) if produced in Russia or by Russian entities or obtained to evade the ban. The ban terminates one year after the President certifies Russia has ended hostilities against Ukraine, but can be automatically resumed during a three-year probation if hostilities restart.
Liberals stress moral accountability and diversification; conservatives stress economic cost.
Narrow sanctions bill could attract bipartisan support, but industrial pushback and trade concerns raise resistance in Ways and Means and floor votes.

Concerned about supply-chain effects for clean-energy technologies and worker protections; would want mitigation and support measures.
Cautious support conditional on mitigating economic and supply risks.
Views the bill as a reasonable targeted sanction but would want careful implementation, monitoring, and contingency plans to avoid unintended industrial harm.
Mixed to somewhat supportive: welcomes hardline pressure on Russia, but worries about economic cost and loss of presidential flexibility.
Some conservatives may oppose the non-waivable prohibition and the potential for harm to U.S. manufacturers.
