The United States Senate has advanced a bipartisan bill imposing sanctions on Russia and Iran, with 86 senators voting in favor. This legislation, championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, includes provisions for 100% secondary tariffs on nations purchasing Russian oil and gas, and targets Russia's 'shadow fleet' of tankers. The bill also renews sanctions on Iran that are set to expire at year's end. The strong bipartisan support is expected to expedite the bill's final passage, despite previous concerns from the White House. AI
