WASHINGTON, Sept 16 (Reuters) – The U.S. House of Representatives passed on Wednesday a sweeping sanctions and tariff bill intended to increase economic pressure on Russia over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, nearly 1-1/2 years after the late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, introduced it with dozens of other senators.

The Republican-majority House voted 262 to 159 in favor of the bill.
