Reuters reported that India is reviewing US tariff provisions following the enactment of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, which authorizes the President to impose duties of up to 100% on goods from major purchasers of Russian energy.

The legislation, signed on September 18, expands sanctions on Russian energy and defense sectors and specifically targets entities accused of aiding sanctions evasion. While the law does not explicitly name specific nations, it allows the administration to target the five largest buyers of Russian crude or gas, potentially affecting major importers such as India and China.
