Washington D.C. | July 22, 2025 — In a provocative statement, US Senator Lindsey Graham has issued a stern warning to India, China, and Brazil, declaring they could face 100% tariffs if they continue to import crude oil from Russia under a potential Donald Trump presidency.
Speaking during an interview with Fox News, Graham accused these nations of funding Russia’s war against Ukraine by purchasing discounted Russian oil, which accounts for nearly 80% of Russia’s total crude exports.
“President Trump’s going to put a 100% tariff on all those countries, punishing them for helping Putin,” said Graham.
He further alleged that countries continuing to trade with Moscow are engaging in “blood money” deals that support Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive military actions, especially in Ukraine.
