A bipartisan push in the US, led by Senator Lindsey Graham and supported by President Trump, is threatening to impose massive tariffs—up to 100% or even 500%—on countries like India, China, and Brazil if they continue importing Russian oil.
The move is part of a broader strategy to cut off Russia's financial lifelines amid its ongoing war in Ukraine, with US officials also urging European allies to join in secondary sanctions. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security needs and accusing the West of double standards. Despite the threats, India claims it can secure oil from alternative sources if necessary.
The escalating rhetoric signals a new phase of economic pressure as the US seeks to isolate Russia and force an end to the Ukraine conflict.
