President Donald Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law, giving him authority to implement new economic pressures on Russia. The legislation, which was introduced by Lindsey Graham, targets Russia’s defense and energy sectors with potential tariffs of up to 100 percent. The bill also grants authority to levy tariffs on nations like China and India to curb their reliance on Russian oil and gas.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new sanctions aim to isolate Russia and reduce the financial resources available to support its military campaign in Ukraine. The bill specifically targets the covert network of 'shadow fleet' tankers used to bypass existing trade restrictions. The passage of the bill signals a major shift in U.S. policy regarding Russia's war aims.

The introduction of the bill was part of a bipartisan effort between Lindsey Graham and other leaders to impose economic sanctions against Russia.
