The United States, led by figures like Senator Lindsey Graham and former President Donald Trump, is ramping up pressure on countries such as India, China, and Brazil for continuing to buy Russian oil amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Threats include imposing 100% or even 500% tariffs on imports from these nations, aiming to cut off financial support to Russia and force a resolution to the conflict. NATO and US officials have called for allied countries, especially in Europe, to join in these secondary sanctions. India and China have pushed back, citing energy security needs and accusing the West of double standards, while China argues that sanctions will not end the war. The escalating rhetoric signals a new phase of economic warfare, with global energy markets and diplomatic relations hanging in the balance.
