US President Donald Trump has signed a sanctions package into law aimed at Russia's economy, according to Euronews.com. The legislation targets Russia's energy sector and also grants the president wider powers to levy tariffs, the outlet reported.
Coverage of the signing was carried by several news organizations, including the BBC, which reported that the measure takes aim at Russian energy, and The Guardian, which said the bill both imposes sanctions on Russia and expands the president's tariff authority.
The move has drawn a reaction from India. Al Jazeera reported that New Delhi warned new US tariffs tied to Russian oil could affect its relationship with Washington. India's government pushed back on the prospect of outside pressure, with The Times of India reporting its position that the country does not operate under pressure from any nation.
The reporting so far centers on the scope of the law and the early diplomatic response rather than on specific enforcement steps or named targets. Euronews.com's account describes the package as aimed at Russia's economy, with energy as a central focus.
What to watch next: how the tariff provisions are applied in practice and whether India's objections lead to further negotiations with Washington.
