@RedWavePressJUST IN: President Trump just SIGNED the late Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bill — slamming Russia with the stiffest sanctions yet, crushing their oil money, and hitting countries still buying Putin’s energy with massive tariffs. The White House: “On Friday, September 18, 2026, the President signed into law: H.R. 5334, the “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026,” which authorizes and expands statutory sanctions, tariffs, and prohibitions on Russia and extends existing sanctions on Iran.”
@TheLastRefuge2The bill gives President Trump the ability to impose tariffs of up to 100% within 30 days on all goods imported into the US from the five largest importers of Russian crude oil or gas as well as any country that knowingly made new purchases of oil or gas 30 days after the law was enacted or was among the top five countries helping Russia evade sanctions. But there's the key...... the authority is based on the pre-existing "sanctions." So, who determines sanction relief? [Either interim, temporary, or strategic, in coordination with the policy objectives of the President] HINT:
