In the meantime, I will continue fighting for relief for the people of Stillwater County by working to pass my Stop Russian Market Manipulation Act.” Background On August 21, 2025, Congressman Downing joined the entire Montana congressional delegation in a letter to President Trump urging him to immediately assess a 50% tariff on critical mineral imports from Russia. On February 27, 2025, Congressman Downing introduced the Stop Russian Market Manipulation Act which would ban critical mineral imports from Russia and provide much needed relief for families affected by layoffs at Stillwater Mine. ### | 1 | 2026-05-01T06:06:26Z | 2026-05-01T06:08:22Z |
