What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

President Donald Trump signed into law the bipartisan Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on September 21, 2026. The legislation allows the U.S. President to impose punitive tariffs of up to 100% on nations purchasing Russian crude oil and natural gas. The bill, which had been adopted by both the House and the Senate, grants the President broad discretion to modify, defer, or completely waive these tariffs.
