Europe2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported24m ago
On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed into law the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, two days after it passed the House in a bipartisan vote. The legislation, cited as H.R. 53, imposes sweeping sanctions on Russia aimed at pressing the country into ending its war with Ukraine.
In addition to the measures targeting Moscow, the newly enacted legislation extends existing US sanctions on Iran through 2031. The bill also expands broader sanctions, tariffs, and other restrictions on Russia while granting the president increased authority to levy tariffs.
