US Senator Lindsey Graham and other officials have issued strong warnings to India, China, and Brazil, threatening to impose up to 100% tariffs on their imports if they continue buying Russian oil.
The move is part of a broader push by the US and its allies to cut off Russia's financial lifelines amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. The US is urging European allies to join in imposing 'secondary sanctions' on countries trading with Russia. India and China have pushed back, citing double standards and emphasizing their own energy security needs.
The escalating rhetoric highlights growing tensions between the US and major global economies over how to handle Russia's wartime revenues.
