# US Senate passes Russia sanctions bill with 100% tariff option 2026-08-07T19:19:58+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The US Senate has passed a bipartisan bill allowing President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries making significant purchases of Russian oil and gas. India and China are among the countries that could be affected. The bill must still pass the House of Representatives before reaching the White House. The penalties would not be automatic. The measure gives the president broad powers to waive, delay or change them. It also targets Russia’s banks, shipping companies and shadow fleet, and extends the Iran Sanctions Act until 2031. India, one of the largest buyers of discounted Russian crude since 2022, could face pressure on both energy supplies and exports such as pharmaceuticals, textiles and engineering goods. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesnownews.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: India tariffs, Iran sanctions, oil imports, Russia sanctions, US Senate Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/us-senate-passes-russia-sanctions-bill-india-faces-100-tariff-risk/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
