What happened, for context

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a comprehensive sanctions bill against Russia, which President Trump subsequently signed into law. The measure, named after late Senator Lindsey Graham, authorizes tariffs of up to 100% on major purchasers of Russian oil and gas, targets Russia's shadow fleet and financial institutions, and extends sanctions on Iran.
