Trump Signs Russia Sanctions Bill With Up to 100% Tariff Authority

The legislation grants the U.S. President authority to impose tariffs up to 100% on goods from countries importing Russian energy, potentially affecting major trading partners including India and China. Countries representing a significant share of Russian energy imports face economic consequences unless they reduce imports below 15% of Russia's total gas exports. The bill takes effect within 30 days; implementation decisions rest with the President, who may grant exemptions or waivers. This creates measurable trade policy uncertainty for energy-importing nations and could reshape global energy sourcing patterns and supply chains dependent on Russian hydrocarbons.
