Republican MP Brian Fitzpatrick announced plans to introduce a bipartisan bill to block the decision, backed by fellow Republican MP Don Bacon, who agreed to be a co-sponsor.
The proposed legislation to block Russian oil and diesel purchases will be named the 'Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act'.
The current term of the US House of Representatives ends in January, leaving lawmakers with very limited time to discuss and pass the bill, which could make the initiative remain mostly a political message.
