Story summary

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act next week on September 14, 2026, following its passage by an overwhelming majority in the Senate last month. The bill aims to impose harsher sanctions on Russia and tariffs on Russian oil and gas buyers, including India, while also extending existing sanctions on Iran. However, many House Democrats oppose the legislation, arguing it gives President Donald Trump expansive and risky new tariff authorities without mandating sanctions against Russia. Democratic representatives Gregory Meeks, Don Beyer, and Richard Neal contend that these flaws could harm the economy more than help in supporting Ukraine's struggle against Russia.
