A wave of warnings from US officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham and former President Donald Trump, threatens to impose 100% or even 500% tariffs on countries like India, China, and Brazil if they continue purchasing Russian oil. The US aims to cut off Russia's financial lifeline amid the Ukraine war by targeting its major oil customers with secondary sanctions. NATO and US officials have called on these nations to pressure Russia into peace talks, but India and China have pushed back, citing energy security and accusing the West of double standards. Analysts question the effectiveness of such tariffs, noting potential global economic fallout and the resilience of targeted countries. The escalating rhetoric signals a new front in economic warfare as the West seeks to isolate Russia.
