President Donald Trump has signed a bill imposing new sanctions on Russia. The measure also opens the door to tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil and gas, including China and India.
The law gives the president power to punish nations that support Russia’s energy trade. China and India are among the largest buyers of Russian fuel.
The bill passed with strong support in Congress. It aims to increase pressure on Russia while warning other countries against helping it.
It is not yet clear how the tariffs would work or when they might take effect. The White House has not announced a timeline.
China and India have not responded publicly to the new measure. Both nations rely heavily on Russian energy imports.
The sanctions add new tension to global trade. They could raise costs for businesses and consumers in several countries.
Trump has said the bill sends a clear message. Supporters call it a strong step. Critics warn it could harm relations with key trading partners.
