In a rare act of bipartisan resolve, President Trump signed into law the most consequential Ukraine-related legislation in over two years, imposing sweeping sanctions on Russia's war economy and granting the executive branch authority to levy tariffs as high as 100 percent on the world's largest buyers of Russian energy. Named for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who spent his final year shepherding the bill through a fractured Congress, the legislation targets not only the Kremlin's inner circle but the financial arteries — banks, energy revenues, and shadow fleets — that sustain its campaign

Demonstrates unusual US domestic consensus on Russia policy despite Trump administration. Elevates economic pressure on Russia while creating friction with China and India through tariff provisions. Strengthens Ukraine's position diplomatically. May strain US-China relations and complicate India's balancing act between Western and Russian interests.
Similar to Cold War-era coordinated sanctions regimes, though with greater focus on energy sector leverage and secondary sanctions on third-party buyers—echoing post-2014 Crimea annexation sanctions strategy but with broader scope.

Consumers in US and allied nations may face higher energy prices and inflation pressures due to disrupted global oil markets. Chinese and Indian consumers face direct tariff impacts on energy costs. Supply chain disruptions could increase prices for manufactured goods globally.
Establishes precedent for bipartisan sanctions coordination; may trigger retaliatory trade measures from China/India; could escalate trade tensions despite Ukraine support goals. Signals willingness to use tariffs as geopolitical tool beyond traditional sanctions frameworks.
