Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 extends the sanctions, tariffs and other restrictions against Russia provided for under US law, and renews the existing sanctions against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Associated Press, under the terms set out in the law, tariffs of up to 100% may be imposed on imports from countries that purchase significant volumes of Russian oil or gas.<\/p>\n<p>Trump signed the bill into law on 18 September. Prior to this, the Senate had approved it by 86 votes to 11, and the House of Representatives by 262 votes to 159.
