The US House of Representatives passed a bill that would authorise President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on Russia and steep tariffs on its trading partners in oil and gas, including India and China. The Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, passed by the US Senate last month, was approved by the House in a 262-159 vote on Wednesday evening and will now go to Trump to be signed into a law. Besides 203 Republicans, 58 Democrats and one Independent voted in favour of the legislation. Seven Republicans and 152 Democrats opposed it. Democratic opposition largely centered around the tariff authorities provided to Trump. The bill is named after Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July after spending more than a year building support for it. "What we're not for is giving more tariff authority to this president," Congressman Richard Neal, a Democrat, said during debate on the bill. The bill seeks to impose sanctions not only on Russi

Taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years, he said. But it is not going to happen anymore. Trump imposed a 34 per cent levy on goods from China o

President Donald Trump is taking a blowtorch to the rules that have governed world trade for decades. The reciprocal' tariffs that he announced Thursday are likely to create chaos for global businesses and conflict with America's allies and adversaries alike.
