Trump Signs Russia Sanctions Bill With Tariff Powers

In September 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a broad sanctions bill targeting Russia's economy. The law includes a provision that could allow tariffs of up to 100% on countries that buy Russian oil, with India and China specifically mentioned as potential targets.

The bill is named after Senator Lindsey Graham. Reports note that the sanctions package includes an exception for U.S. uranium imports from Russia. The tariff threat has raised questions about how India would manage its Russian oil imports.
