Trump Signals Possible Use of New Tariff Powers to End Russia-Ukraine War
US President Donald Trump announced at the UN General Assembly that he may use new tariff powers granted by the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 to help end the Russia-Ukraine war. The law allows tariffs of up to 100% on major importers of Russian oil and gas, including China and India, aiming to cut funding for the conflict. The Act also sanctions Russia's leadership, energy, and defense sectors while exempting certain US-Russia cooperation areas. India has affirmed its commitment to energy security despite the sanctions.
