President Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act into law on September 18, 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new tariffs are mandatory and stack on top of any existing duties, including those under Section 301 or Section 232. The duties apply to imports from countries identified as major buyers of Russian crude oil or natural gas, or those facilitating oil sanctions evasion. The deadline for these duties is October 18, 2026.
