Trump Signs Russia Sanctions Bill, Grants Tariff Power to Target Moscow's Allies

TL;DR Summary
President Trump signed the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, imposing sweeping sanctions aimed at choking Russia’s war funding and giving him discretion to levy tariffs on countries that buy Russian energy or aid Moscow’s evasion, including potential up to 100% rates; the bill also targets Russian officials, entities, and the shadow tanker network, while critics say the broad authority grants excessive unilateral power and could run afoul of legal limits.
