US senators introduce bill to impose 100% tariffs on India, China and three other buyers of Russian oil
AI Market Summary
A US Senate bill backed by 60+ lawmakers proposes 100% tariffs on top buyers of Russian oil/gas (including China and India) with 180-day reviews and limited European gas exemptions. If advanced, it would raise trade-friction risk, potentially disrupt Russian crude trade flows, and force a reallocation of global supply. The policy also adds uncertainty to gas-to-oil substitution dynamics and could influence LNG demand routes.

The US Senate has introduced the “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026,” proposing 100% tariffs on India, China, Slovakia, Hungary and Azerbaijan for importing Russian crude oil or natural gas, aiming to curb funding for Russia’s war. The proposal includes a 180-day review mechanism to update the targeted-country list and adjust tariff rates. It would exempt certain European countries that meet specified conditions. If passed, the measure would directly affect trade flows of major buyers of Russian oil and could reshape expectations around global crude supply rebalancing while also influencing gas-to-oil substitution dynamics and LNG demand.
