Sequence only, with date kinds. Order date: October 16, 2026. The act it implements was signed September 18, 2026 (2026-09-18–trump-signs-lindsey-o-graham-sanctioning-russia-and-iran-act-pl-119-111).
The order raises the duty on goods from Russia “by 500 percent ad valorem,” adds duties tied to Russian oil and gas purchases and to sanctions evasion, and in its waiver section waives all of those duties and most of the act’s sanctions provisions. It states that the national-interest certification and the report explaining it were submitted to Congress. Sanctions under earlier executive orders on Russia stay in place.
