The US Senate passed the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act in 2026, setting the stage for potential tariffs on Russian oil and gas imports. The law, signed by President Donald Trump, could impose up to 100% tariffs on energy imports from Russia and Iran. This development comes amid heightened tensions between India and the US, as India relies heavily on Russian oil and gas imports. The new legislation could disrupt India's energy supply chain and strain bilateral relations. Indian officials have expressed concern over the potential economic impact, particularly on industries dependent on Russian energy. The law reflects a broader shift in US foreign policy toward stricter sanctions on energy imports from specific countries. As the law moves forward, India is likely to seek alternative energy sources and diplomatic channels to mitigate the impact. The situation highlights the growing complexity of India-US economic ties in a shifting global landscape.
