On August 7, 2026, the U.S. Senate voted 86–11 to pass a Russia sanctions bill that would authorize President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on certain countries that heavily rely on Russian energy, potentially including India, China and other major buyers. The bill must still pass the U.S. House of Representatives before it can become law.
