        "summary": "Donald Trump issued an executive order implementing the 2026 Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, which provides for steep tariffs on Russian goods and goods from certain countries buying Russian energy or facilitating sanctions evasion. He has exempted those tariffs, citing US national interest, and the exemption will remain until the president or secretary of state determines further action is needed.",
        "content": "<p>HAMILTON (ANTARA) \u2014 US President Donald Trump issued an executive\norder on Friday evening (16 October) to implement a new law imposing\nsanctions on Russia, but exempted tariffs and several sanctions from its\napplication.<\/p>\n<p>The order implements the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and\nIran Act of 2026, which Trump signed on 18 September.<\/p>\n<p>Under the order, tariffs on Russian goods would rise by 500 per\ncent.<\/p>\n<p>It also sets an additional 100 per cent tariff on goods from the five\nlargest importers of Russian oil and gas if those countries make new\npurchases on or after 18 October.<\/p>\n<p>The same 100 per cent tariff increase would apply to goods from the\nfive countries deemed to play the greatest role in facilitating\nsanctions evasion related to Russian oil.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump exempted these tariffs on grounds of US national\ninterest and submitted an official certification to Congress, according\nto the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The exemption will remain in effect until the president or US\nsecretary of state determines that further action is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation was named in honour of the late Senator Lindsey\nGraham.<\/p>",
