Congress sends bill letting Trump punish buyers of Russian oil, India objects

Fact-check index: 78/100 — The core facts—Congress passing the Graham-named Russia sanctions bill and sending it to Trump, its being the first such package of his term with power to penalize major buyers of Russian energy, and India's warning about bilateral ties—are all backed by the cited sources, though some details (India's rationale, the 'why it matters' framing) go beyond what the headlines/snippets explicitly state.

• Bill is named for Senator Lindsey Graham and had previously cleared the House — Matches FOX Carolina headline 'House approves sweeping Russia sanctions bill named for Sen. Lindsey Graham, sending it to Pres. Trump'
• It is the first new Russia sanctions package since Trump took office — Matches NZZ: 'Zum ersten Mal seit Donald Trumps Amtsantritt hat Washington neue Russland-Sanktionen verabschiedet'
