House passes ban on Russian oil, natural gas and coal

(CNN)The House voted with a wide bipartisan majority Wednesday to pass a ban on importing Russian oil, natural gas and coal into the United States.

The bill will also take steps to revisit Russia's role in the World Trade Organization and reauthorize the Magnitsky Act to strengthen sanctions on Russia for human rights violations.

The final vote was 414-17, with two Democrats -- Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota -- and 15 Republican members voting against the bill.
