The US Senate advances a bipartisan bill that expands sanctions related to Russia’s energy sector and grants the president authority to impose very high tariffs on certain buyers of Russian oil and gas. According to coverage from NDTV and Times of India, the proposed legislation would allow President Trump to levy tariffs of up to 100% on goods from major purchasers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, with particular attention on large customers such as China and India. The bill is designed to target countries that buy significant volumes of Russian energy exports and could therefore affect global trade and energy markets. Both sources also note that the measure extends the Iran Sanctions Act through 2031. While the bill’s path through the US legislative process continues, its provisions—especially the possible 100% tariffs on energy-related trade—are expected to increase pressure on major Russian buyers and alter commercial calculations for suppliers and importing countries alike.
