Trump Signs Sweeping Russia Sanctions Bill Into Law
Trump signed new sanctions targeting Russia’s energy, defense and financial sectors, while giving the White House broad tariff powers over major buyers of Russian oil and gas.
President Donald Trump signed the Graham-Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act into law on Friday, implementing a series of sanctions targeting Russia's war efforts in Ukraine. The legislation authorizes the president to impose tariffs as high as 100% on major purchasers of Russian oil and gas, affecting countries such as China and India.
The bill targets Russia's energy and defense sectors, financial institutions, Putin and other senior officials, as well as networks aiding Moscow in evading existing sanctions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the congressional approval, calling it a powerful tool to compel Russia towards peace. The act, named after late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, received bipartisan support in the House and Senate.
