⚡ OCT 18 DEADLINE: INDIA FACES UP TO 100% US TARIFFS!
Oct 12, 2026 — President Trump signed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act on Sept 18. Section 113 gives him 30 days — until Oct 18 — to impose duties of up to 100% on goods from the five largest importers of Russian crude oil and natural gas, including India.
🔑 The escape hatch: Trump can waive the tariffs by certifying to Congress that a waiver is in America's national interest.
📺 Sunday-show clash: CNN's Jake Tapper and ABC's Jonathan Karl questioned Trump's deal to buy Russian diesel just days before the deadline — the same sanctions law he signed last month targets buyers of Russian energy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the purchase on Fox News Sunday, saying critics in Congress are "wrong" about the law barring the deal.
🇮🇳🇺🇸 Why it matters: India is among the top buyers of discounted Russian crude since 2022. If no waiver comes, Indian goods entering the US could face up to 100% duties from Oct 18 — stacked on top of existing tariffs.
