Trump signs broad Russia sanctions bill

US President Donald Trump signed into law a comprehensive sanctions package targeting Russia, named after late Senator Lindsey Graham. The bill passed Congress with strong bipartisan support, with the Senate approving it 86-11 and the House 262-159. The sanctions aim to pressure Russia over its conflict with Ukraine, targeting officials, key economic sectors, and energy transportation methods. The legislation also extends sanctions on Iran until 2031. The measures include potential tariffs on Russian oil imports and sanctions on countries aiding Russia in evading sanctions. These actions risk straining U.S. trade relationships with China and India, which purchase significant amounts of Russian oil. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy praised the bill, linking it to Graham's advocacy for maintaining pressure on Russia. The Kremlin warned that additional sanctions could impede peace talks.
