NOPE Act of 2026
The NOPE Act of 2026 expands the congressional review process for U.S. sanctions targeting Russia, specifically adding energy-related actions to the list of measures that require legislative approval. Under this bill, the government must wait for a specific certification from the Secretary of State confirming that Russia has ended its war in Ukraine and committed to a just peace settlement before taking certain actions against Russian crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, or other energy exports. The legislation also allows for limited exceptions during this review period to permit energy shipments necessary for crew safety, emergency repairs, environmental protection, or urgent economic needs in foreign countries.
