Slotkin, Peters introduce bill to ban mineral imports from Russia

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Democratic U.S. Senators from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters, joined Montana's Republican senators in introducing legislation that would ban the import of certain minerals from Russia until the nation ends hostilities with Ukraine. S.808, also known as the 'Stop Russian Market Manipulation Act,' was introduced Thursday, and would ban the import of the following minerals: Braggite Copper Nickel Palladium Platinum Rhodium Ruthenium Zinc The ban would last for a year after the president certifies to Congress that Russia has ended all hostilities against Ukraine, with a probationary period of three years. During this period, if Russia resumes hostilities against Ukraine, the ban would resume effect. S.808 also has language that forbids the President from waiving the prohibition. The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance on Thursday. You can read the full bill as it was introduced below. HLA25140Download Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
