Claim 1: “advancing sanctions that could impose tariffs on major buyers including India and China”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim is directly confirmed by Wikipedia's entry on the 'Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 (S.1241)', which describes a bipartisan bill giving the president the option to impose sanctions on Russia and countries purchasing Russian energy. This is further corroborated by web search results mentioning 100% tariffs on major buyers and specific mentions of India's struggle with these sanctions.
