  "account": "India finds itself potentially facing tariffs of up to 100% on Russian oil and gas imports following a contentious US bill. The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 passed a crucial vote in the House of Representatives, signaling possible repercussions for India, a significant energy consumer of Russian resources. The bill, which also targets Russia's defense and leadership sectors, has been signed off by the Senate and awaits approval from US President Donald Trump to become law. While India's ties with Russia have strengthened amid the Ukraine conflict, this development could strain India-US relations under the current administration, especially considering the history of tensions over Russian oil purchases.",
  "summary": "A new bill could give President Trump the power to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian oil and gas, potentially affecting major importer India. DW has more.",
