Summary

Protecting Americans from Russian Litigation Act of 2025

Full summary3 paragraphs

This bill generally prohibits private parties from filing civil claims in federal or state court to enforce certain judgments or arbitration awards issued by foreign courts. The prohibition applies if (1) the foreign judgment or arbitration award arose from a claim where actions to comply with U.S. sanctions impeded the performance of a contract, or (2) the foreign court or tribunal asserted jurisdiction based on the imposition of U.S. sanctions or export controls (or a foreign law enacted in response to U.S. sanctions or export controls).

The bill provides an exception for the federal government, which may continue to file these claims.

The general prohibition established by this bill applies to claims that are pending on or after this bill's date of enactment.
