AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoUS–Russia Energy Pressure: The US Senate has passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, giving President Trump power to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from the five biggest buyers of Russian oil and gas—currently listed as China, India, Azerbaijan, Hungary and Slovakia—before the bill heads to the House after the August recess. Trade Deal Watch: Analysts say the move could raise costs and complicate India’s (and by extension regional) energy and trade planning, with tariff levels left to the US Trade Representative and subject to waivers. Danube Drought Disrupts Industry: Europe’s heat and record-low Danube levels are exposing WWII wrecks and disrupting shipping, with captains facing navigation headaches as Nazi-era vessels re-emerge in Serbia and the river’s low water threatens logistics across the corridor. Slovakia Energy Milestone Amid Climate Strain: Slovakia’s reported extreme temperatures (42°C record) underline how drought is tightening the operating conditions for energy and transport systems across Central Europe.
