In a rare display of bipartisanship, the Senate unanimously passed a bill to ban the import of Russian oil to the United States and suspend Russia’s normal trading partner status, according to US News and World Report.

In rare unanimity typically seen only in the modern era when naming post offices, all members of the Senate passed two separate bills, one which rescinded Russia’s status as a normal trading partner with the United States and another which bans the import of fossil fuels from Russia.

“Ending normal trade relations hammers home that Putin has made Russia into a full-fledged pariah state,” said Oregon Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

The bill had been in negotiations in the Senate for weeks, primarily because Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul claimed the language regarding who could sanction human rights and human trafficking abuses was too broad, a move that was widely decried by Senators on both sides of the aisle.  Paul apparently thought only certain agencies and groups should be able to punish Russia for killing civilians.

“Messaging is important here and showing action is important,” Democratic Maryland Senator Ben Cardin said. “You’ve got the Ukrainians on the battlefield every day. The least we can do is get these bills passed.”

With earlier versions of the bills already passing through the House with a handful of Republicans supporting Russian interests, the Senate version will return to the House for a re-vote Thursday before going to President Biden for his signature.
