U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Sanctions on Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on Sept. 18 local time, authorizing an expansion of statutory sanctions, tariffs, and bans targeting Russia while extending sanctions measures on Iran. On the same day, Trump said he was weighing whether to take further military action against Tehran, saying, "We’ll see," and also mentioned that the United States was in contact with Yemen’s Houthi forces. Trump separately said the U.S. had reached an agreement with Denmark on Greenland security that would ensure Washington retains the permanent ability to safeguard the area. He also said on social media that CNN and two other media outlets would be barred from entering the White House, and claimed his support within the Republican Party had reached 95%, which he described as a record high.
