U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law a sweeping new sanctions package against Russia, dubbed the 'sanctions from hell' and formally named after the late Senator Lindsey Graham, targeting Russia's energy and defense industries and its 'shadow fleet' of tankers. The law grants Trump 30 days to act and broad authority to suspend the restrictions, and includes provisions for 100% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Trump and U.S. lawmakers for the move. China, Russia's largest oil buyer, said it opposes unilateral sanctions and reserves the right to take 'all necessary measures' in response, while hoping Washington would 'meet Beijing halfway.' The law's real-world impact remains uncertain given the president's discretion to waive it.
