> Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Roger Wicker pressed the Trump administration to implement the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act without waiting for most provisions to take effect on Oct. 18. They urged stronger action against Russian oil revenues, sanctions-evasion networks and third-country suppliers, and called for the US to match European and UK designations of shadow-fleet vessels.
