Trump Signs Graham Bill Imposing New Sanctions Against Russia, India, and China

The Graham Bill, named after Senator Lindsey Graham, authorizes the imposition of new sanctions against Russia and its allies. The law includes provisions that allow Trump to impose 100% tariffs on any country without oversight, according to Democratic officials. The bill was signed into law by Trump on September 19, 2026, and it marks a significant shift in U.S. trade and foreign policy. The law introduces an unprecedented range of measures against Moscow and its partners, including India and China. While the bill is framed as a tool to pressure Russia, it has raised concerns among Democrats about its potential to disrupt global trade and economic relations. The law's provisions have not been widely tested, and its long-term impact remains uncertain. Sources diverge on the scope of the bill's implications. Le-Monde reports that the bill allows Trump to impose 100% tariffs on any country without oversight, while Arab News provides a more general account of the bill's authorization of broad new sanctions against Russia.
