Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026 at a time when the price of Brent crude crossed $100 per barrel. The bill authorises President Donald Trump to impose 100% tarrifs on countries like India, China and Turkiye purchasing fossil fuels from Russia. The ministry said it would take all steps to protect its economic interests, and warned the Americans of ‘potential implications’ in bilateral ties should Trump place sanctions on India.
