A wave of warnings from US officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham and former President Donald Trump, threatens 100% or higher tariffs 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 lifeline amid its ongoing war in Ukraine, with calls for secondary sanctions and coordinated action from NATO and the EU. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security and accusing the West of double standards. Despite the threats, India claims it can secure oil from alternative sources if needed.
The proposed tariffs and sanctions could have global economic repercussions, potentially raising oil prices and straining international relations.
