The US House passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, granting the executive branch authority to impose tariffs up to 100% on countries importing most Russian energy, focusing on China and India. The bill aims to pressure these nations to change their trade behavior and strengthen US leverage in global negotiations. India faces high costs to switch energy sources due to refinery specialization, while China has more flexibility but remains vulnerable to tariff threats. This move could accelerate the development of alternative financial systems outside US influence, though such changes will take time.
