Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton criticized the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The legislation grants President Donald Trump expanded executive branch authority to impose secondary sanctions and tariffs on foreign nations purchasing Russian energy. Bolton warned that this policy creates geopolitical friction with key partners, such as India.
