PoliticsLindsey Graham Act Challenges India's Strategic Autonomy
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, authorizes tariffs up to 100% on top buyers of Russian oil, directly targeting India. As the world's second-largest importer of Russian crude, India faces a dilemma balancing its energy needs, economic ties with the U.S., and strategic defense relations with Russia. The Act threatens India's exports to the U.S. if it continues large-scale Russian oil purchases.
