**Trump has** [signed](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/09/congressional-bill-h-r-5334-signed-into-law/) **H.R. 5334, the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, sharply expanding statutory sanctions and trade restrictions against Russia.**

Key provisions:

• Sanctions on senior Russian officials, major state-linked banks and entities, the defense and energy sectors, sanctions-evasion networks and the “shadow fleet.”

• US investment in Russia is prohibited, alongside Russian sovereign-debt purchases, most transactions involving the Russian government and US energy exports to Russia.

• Tariffs on Russian goods can be raised to as much as 500%.

• Goods from countries among the five largest buyers of Russian oil or gas can face tariffs of up to 100% if they continue new purchases after the law takes effect. The same applies to the five leading countries facilitating Russian oil-sanctions evasion.

• The 500% and 100% figures are ceilings, not automatic rates. The administration retains discretion over the level and can issue national-interest waivers.

• Russian uranium restrictions are reinforced, including measures involving Rosatom.

• The Iran Sanctions Act is extended from 2026 to 2031. Most Russia provisions expire five years after enactment.
