What happened
President Donald Trump signed a law authorizing the imposition of punitive tariffs of up to 100% on purchases of Russian oil and gas. These tariffs apply to China, India, and other countries involved in the purchases. The law was signed while Lindsey Graham introduced sanctions, escalating trade tensions with Beijing.
