The House of Representatives passed sweeping sanctions legislation targeting Russia's economy, energy sector, and Putin's inner circle on Wednesday, with the bill heading to President Trump's desk for signature. The legislation, championed by late Senator Lindsey Graham, grants Trump authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries that are major buyers of Russian oil, including China and India. The bill marks the first time in more than two years Congress has passed legislation supporting Ukraine, though it faced some Democratic opposition over the scope of Trump's trade powers. India and other major Russian energy buyers have warned the tariffs could impact diplomatic relations.
