What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The US Senate approved the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which grants the US president discretionary authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on imports from the world's top five buyers of Russian crude oil or natural gas. Separately, the Senate also passed a bipartisan bill that could authorize President Donald Trump to levy tariffs of up to 100% on goods from countries, including India and China.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new trade strategy involves imposing high import duties on trading partners, a policy Donald Trump continues despite voter disapproval. The legislation aims to escalate economic pressure on Russia and restrict financial flows supporting its economy and military campaign. This action is part of intense, reciprocal strategic and economic competition between Donald Trump and China.
