The “End Russian Oil Windfalls Act” would: ... Impose sanctions on Russian oil companies
Impose sanctions on Russian oil companies.
Occurrences
H.R.2548 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025
Evidence
Congress.gov shows William R. Keating as a cosponsor of H.R.2548. The bill would require sanctions and a higher duty rate tied to Russian-origin petroleum products, but it is only at the introduced stage.
The latest action on H.R.2548 remains the bill's 2025-04-01 referral to committee, and Congress.gov still lists the status as 'Introduced'.
AP reported that Treasury extended the Russian-oil sanctions waiver for another 30 days on 2026-05-18, allowing purchases of Russian seaborne oil to continue temporarily.
Assessments
Keating took a concrete legislative step by cosponsoring H.R.2548, which would impose Russia-related petroleum sanctions, but the measure remained at the introduced-and-referred stage as of June 11, 2026. No enacted federal action attributable to Keating imposed the promised sanctions on Russian oil companies, and recent federal policy cited in the evidence moved toward extending a waiver rather than adding new oil-company sanctions. Because the term is still active and the effort has not produced the promised outcome, this is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered or never.
