> U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a new sanctions law targeting Russia. It authorizes sanctions on Russian defense, energy, and financial organizations, its shadow fleet, and leadership, while allowing 100% tariffs on imports from the five biggest buyers of Russian energy. Most measures must be imposed within 30 days, though Trump can suspend them for national-security reasons.
