US House Considers Amendments Naming India for Potential Tariffs in Russia Sanctions Bill
US lawmakers have proposed amendments to the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, with one naming India among countries eligible for potential 100% tariffs over Russian oil purchases. Another amendment seeks to remove the tariff provision granting the US President authority to impose such duties. The Senate passed the bill without naming specific countries, but the House must approve it before it becomes law. India defends its energy purchases as compliant with sanctions, while the US aims to pressure Russia by targeting its trade partners.
