A US Senate bill could soon let Trump slap 100% tariffs on India for buying Russian oil.
And a Polish minister just publicly cheered it on.
Here's the story.
This week, the US Senate passed the sanctions bill 86-12.
It gives President Trump power to impose tariffs up to 100% on the top five buyers of Russian energy.
Translation: India and China, squarely in the crosshairs.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy watched the vote live from the Senate floor.
There's a heavier backstory here too.
The bill is officially named the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act.
Graham, one of the Senate's loudest Ukraine hawks, died suddenly in July 2026 while negotiating this very package with the White House.
The Senate voted on it hours after his funeral.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski didn't stay quiet.
"I hope the Lindsey Graham bill passes and the US imposes tougher sanctions on Russia," he said on a podcast hosted by former US officials Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer.
This isn't his first swing at India.
The bill still needs to clear the House, which is currently in recess.
Trump just added a curveball too — demanding an amendment to also tariff countries trading with Iran.
That could delay things further, especially if it costs Democratic votes.
This isn't hypothetical for New Delhi.
Trump previously hit India with tariffs up to 50% over Russian oil purchases.
25% of that was rolled back in February after an interim trade framework with PM Modi.
Now, with oil prices spiking again from the US-Iran standoff, India's watching this bill very warily.
The energy independence it fought to protect could be back on the chopping block.
That's all for now!
