Live updates: Congress passes Laken Riley Act, sending Trump the first law he can sign
President Donald Trump’s threat to impose stiff taxes, tariffs and sanctions on Russia if an agreement isn’t reached to end the war in Ukraine is likely fall on deaf ears in the Kremlin as virtually all Russian products are already prohibited from import into the United States and the country has faced many U.S. and European sanctions since the invasion began nearly three years ago.
In a post to his Truth Social site Wednesday, Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “settle now and stop this ridiculous war.”
He said he had no desire to hurt Russia and has a good relationship with Putin, but warned of penalties if the war isn’t stopped soon.
“If we don’t make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.”
The problem with the threat is that other than a small amount of fertilizer, animal feed and machinery, Russia currently exports almost no goods to the U.S. And, Russia is one of the world’s most heavily sanctioned nations. Many of those sanctions relate to Russia’s Feb. 2022 invasion of Ukraine and were imposed by the Biden administration, but others predate Biden and some were imposed during Trump’s first term in office.
It’s official! Congress has just passed the Laken Riley Act, a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at combating cyberbullying and online harassment. This bill is named after Laken Riley, a young girl who tragically took her own life after being relentlessly bullied online.
The Laken Riley Act includes provisions that require social media platforms to take more proactive measures in addressing cyberbullying, such as implementing stricter reporting mechanisms and providing resources for victims. It also imposes harsher penalties for individuals found guilty of cyberbullying, in hopes of deterring this harmful behavior.
This is a significant victory for advocates of online safety and anti-bullying efforts. And the best part? This bill is now on its way to President Trump’s desk, making it the first piece of legislation he can sign into law.
Stay tuned for more updates as we await the President’s signature on this important bill. Let’s continue to stand up against cyberbullying and make the internet a safer place for everyone. #LakenRileyAct #StopCyberbullying
