1 article from CBS News.

News Clarion synthesisAcross 1 sources

President Trump signed sweeping sanctions legislation against Russia on Friday, named after late Senator Lindsey Graham, which aims to increase economic pressure on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. The bill authorizes tariffs of up to 100 percent on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, targeting countries including China and India, and includes measures against Russia's energy and defense sectors. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy thanked Trump for signing the legislation, though Democrats opposed certain provisions that grant Trump broad tariff authority while favoring stronger direct sanctions on Russia.
