President Donald Trump has officially signed into law a Russia sanctions bill named after late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a staunch advocate for Ukraine. The legislation authorizes the president to impose tariffs on Russian oil and natural gas, with the potential for up to 100 percent tariffs on the top five purchasers of Russian energy. According to The Hill, the bill aims to increase economic pressure on Russia amid its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The measure was championed by Graham, who passed away earlier this year. The BBC World noted that the bill is a significant step in U.S. efforts to support Ukraine and counter Russian aggression. CBS News US reported that the law grants the president the authority to impose tariffs on the largest purchases of Russian oil and natural gas. The signing of the bill marks a key legislative action in response to the situation in Ukraine.
