Energy Secretary Warns India and China Could Face Heaviest Impact

Energy Secretary Chris Wright told a news program that under the proposed legislation, India and China are likely to be the most affected nations. He clarified that the Lindse‑Graham Act targets countries that maintain trade with Russia, not Russia itself.

Wright added that Washington is continuing diplomatic talks with Beijing over the Ukraine conflict and broader trade relations, while the United States retains the authority to activate the sanctions at any future point.
