The revised legislation now focuses on the top five Russian oil and gas buyers — chiefly China and India — imposing 100% tariffs instead of the earlier 500% rate, while offering exemptions for countries importing less than 15% of gas from Russia. Designed to cut off funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine without harming U.S. allies, the bill also grants the president flexibility to waive sanctions when needed. Graham, who recently returned from Ukraine and had discussed the bill with President Trump before his passing, was deeply enthusiastic about its progress, planning to return to Washington to build bipartisan support. Lawmakers are now urging immediate floor action to name the bill after him — a tribute to his leadership and a critical step in supporting Ukraine.
