The President is exercising authority regarding trade tariffs, which allows for the imposition of up to 100% tariffs on the five largest buyers of Russian oil and natural gas, including India. This authority was enacted through the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The President's office is granting these tariff benefits on a country-by-country basis.
