US Senator Lindsey Graham and other officials have issued stark warnings that the US, under a potential Trump administration, will impose 100% tariffs on countries like India, China, and Brazil if they continue to import oil from Russia.
These proposed 'secondary tariffs' aim to cut off Russia's financial support for its war in Ukraine by targeting its major oil buyers. The move is intended to pressure these nations to stop trading with Russia, but critics warn it could backfire by raising global oil prices and harming US consumers. The US is also urging European allies to join in these sanctions for greater impact.
The threats have sparked strong reactions and concerns about escalating trade tensions and global economic fallout.
