A wave of warnings from US officials, including Senator Lindsey Graham and the Trump administration, threatens to impose massive tariffs—up to 100%—on countries like India, China, and Brazil if they continue importing Russian oil.
The move is intended to cut off financial support for Russia amid its ongoing war in Ukraine, with the US urging European allies to join in secondary sanctions. NATO leaders have echoed these threats, warning that continued trade with Russia could have severe economic consequences. India and China have pushed back, citing Western double standards and asserting their right to pursue their own energy interests.
The escalating rhetoric signals rising geopolitical tensions and the potential for a major shakeup in global energy markets.
