The US, led by Senator Lindsey Graham and supported by the Trump administration, is threatening to impose massive tariffs—up to 100%—on countries like India, China, and Brazil that continue to import Russian oil.
This move is intended to cut off Russia's financial lifeline and pressure Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. The US is also urging European allies to join in with secondary sanctions, warning that nations supporting Russia's economy could face severe economic consequences. India and China have pushed back, criticizing what they see as Western double standards and asserting their right to pursue their own energy interests.
The escalating rhetoric signals rising geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over global energy markets.
