Trump signs Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act in 2026
The act was signed on 18 September 2026 and is framed as an economic lever to pressure both countries toward ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
OilPrice reports that President Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on 18 September.
The outlet says the measure is intended to give Trump a major economic lever to drive political change, describing it as a turbocharged version of tariff diplomacy used since taking office for his second term.
OilPrice also characterizes the act’s primary purpose as forcing Russia and Iran to end the Russia-Ukraine war, which it links to the start of the conflict that began with the war.
