The United States, led by prominent figures like Senator Lindsey Graham and supported by the Trump administration, is threatening to impose massive tariffs—up to 100%—on countries such as India, China, and Brazil if they continue to import Russian oil.
This move is part of a broader push to tighten sanctions on Russia and cut off its financial lifelines amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. The US is urging European allies to join in these 'secondary tariffs' to maximize pressure on Moscow. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security and accusing the West of double standards.
The situation highlights escalating economic warfare and growing geopolitical tensions between the West and major emerging economies.
