US Senator Lindsey Graham, backed by former President Donald Trump, has issued stark warnings to India, China, and Brazil, threatening to impose 100% tariffs on their imports if they continue purchasing oil from Russia.
The move is intended to pressure these countries to cut financial ties with Moscow and help end the war in Ukraine.
