What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

A bill titled the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 was introduced to impose sanctions on Russia and Iran. The House of Representatives passed the 61-page legislation by a vote of 262-159, sending it to President Donald Trump for his signature. The law grants the administration the authority to impose tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods imported from countries that are among the top five purchasers of Russian crude oil or natural gas by volume during a relevant 12-month period.
