A wave of warnings from US officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham and former President Donald Trump, has targeted India, China, and Brazil for continuing to import Russian oil amid the ongoing Ukraine war.
The US is threatening to impose 100% or even 500% tariffs on goods from these countries as a form of secondary sanctions, aiming to cut off Russia’s oil revenue and pressure Moscow into peace talks. NATO and US Treasury officials have echoed these threats, urging allied nations to join in the crackdown. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security needs and accusing the West of double standards.
The proposed tariffs and sanctions could escalate global economic tensions and impact energy markets worldwide.
