The House is preparing to vote on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 after the Senate approved it 86-11 on August 7, 2026. The bill would authorize President Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest importers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, including China, India and Turkey. It would also expand sanctions on Russian government officials and financial institutions, target a sanctions-evading shipping fleet, and extend the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 for five years. Countries importing less than 15% of their natural gas from Russia could qualify for exemptions under certain conditions. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to meet on September 14, 2026, to set debate terms before a floor vote. The bill has broad bipartisan support in the Senate and backing from President Trump, but Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns that tariff escalation could increase consumer costs. Tariffs already in place are estimated to add an average of $820 per household in 2026. If imposed, the proposed tariffs would increase costs for major Russian crude buyers and put additional diplomatic pressure on Turkey and India, whose energy relationships with Moscow have remained significant since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
