A bipartisan push in the US, led by Senator Lindsey Graham and supported by President Trump, is threatening to impose massive tariffs—up to 100% or even 500%—on countries like India, China, and Brazil if they continue to import Russian oil. The move is part of a broader strategy to cut off Russia's financial lifelines amid its ongoing war in Ukraine, with US officials warning that trading partners could face severe economic consequences. NATO and US Treasury officials have echoed these threats, urging allies to join in secondary sanctions. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security and accusing the West of double standards. The escalating rhetoric signals a new phase of economic pressure as the US seeks to isolate Russia and force a resolution to the Ukraine conflict.
