U.S. House advances Russia sanctions Bill that seeks 100% tariffs on India, others; set for final vote

The U.S. House of Representatives has advanced a Bill, the 'Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026', which would authorize President Donald Trump to impose 100% tariffs on countries like India and China for purchasing oil and gas from Russia. The Bill, already passed by the U.S. Senate, also seeks to extend existing sanctions on Iran and target Russia's energy sector and its 'shadow fleet' of vessels, aiming to cut off funding for the war against Ukraine. The move has faced opposition from some U.S. lawmakers concerned about granting unchecked authority to the President.
