A wave of warnings from US Senator Lindsey Graham and other American officials has put India, China, and Brazil on notice: continue buying Russian oil, and face crippling tariffs—potentially up to 500%. The threats come as part of a broader US and EU effort to isolate Russia economically over its invasion of Ukraine, with calls for 'secondary sanctions' on countries that help fund Moscow through energy purchases. India and other targeted nations have pushed back, citing energy security needs and accusing the West of double standards, especially as some European countries continue to buy Russian energy. The proposed tariffs and sanctions could disrupt global oil markets and strain diplomatic relations, with India asserting it can find alternative suppliers if necessary. The situation highlights escalating geopolitical tensions and the complex global fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war.
