Implementing the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026

Executive Order 14436 establishes a framework for implementing the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The order addresses tariffs on Russian imports, countries purchasing Russian oil and natural gas, and nations facilitating sanctions evasion. It also establishes presidential waivers, delegates implementation responsibilities to federal agencies, and directs ongoing monitoring of international energy trade and sanctions compliance.

The order outlines potential tariff increases of 500% on Russian goods and 100% on goods from certain countries involved in Russian energy purchases or sanctions evasion. However, it simultaneously waives the application of specified tariffs, sanctions, and restrictions until further action is determined.

The executive order highlights the federal government’s approach to economic security, international trade enforcement, energy policy, and foreign sanctions administration.
