A similar measure passed the upper Senate last month, penalizing Russia over Ukraine and Syria, as well as Russian interference in the US presidential election.
Trump had signalled a willingness to cooperate with Russia and has questioned whether Moscow interfered in US presidential elections, prompting concern among lawmakers that he could unilaterally ease sanctions.
The lawmakers tied the new sanctions to separate measures targeting Iran and North Korea in a bid to make it more difficult for Trump to veto the measure and potentially ease sanctions on Russia.
The bill prohibits the president from easing the Russian sanctions without Congress' approval. Royce defended the oversight the bill gives Congress, calling it "necessary and appropriate."
The sanctions on North Korea target its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes as well as use of slave labour and Iran is targeted for its terrorist activities, human rights abuses and ballistic missile programmes.
The Defence Intelligence Agency predicted that North Korea would be able to develop a reliable, nuclear-capable ballistic missile as soon as next year, the Washington Post reported Tuesday, citing a confidential assessment.
The sanctions measure differs slightly between the House and the Senate versions and the two chambers must now agree on a final version to send to Trump.
The White House has indicated Trump would sign the measure, despite concerns that it ties his hands.
The Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the threat of more sanctions damages both Russian and US interests.
The speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, Valentina Matviyenko, expressed concern about the impact on European cooperation with Russia's energy sector.
"Sanctions can bring harm to European companies and European business as a whole. This is an attempt to push Russia out of the European energy market. This is an encroachment on the interests of European states. I hope that the EU will defend its position," Matviyenko said in comments carried by state news agency TASS.
European officials had also expressed concern about the Russian measures for their potential impact on energy projects.
"We are following the draft US bill on Russia sanctions with some concern," a spokesman said, adding that the matter was being raised by the bloc "via all diplomatic channels with the US and its counterparts."
Global energy giants such as Shell, British Petroleum and Italy's ENI could be affected by fresh US sanctions against Russia.
