Trump signs broad Russia sanctions bill
The bill signed by US President Donald Trump targets officials, banks, and a fleet of shadow tankers that transport Russian energy.
US President Donald Trump signed a comprehensive sanctions bill against Russia on Friday, named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The legislation, which passed Congress with large bipartisan majorities, aims to punish Russia for its ongoing war against Ukraine by targeting key sectors of the Russian economy, including banks and a fleet of shadow tankers that transport Russian energy.
The bill also establishes a framework to maintain sanctions on Iran until 2031 and instructs Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the top five importers of Russian oil or natural gas. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Trump for signing the bill, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that additional US sanctions could hinder efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution in Ukraine.
