According to Graham, the US president intends to impose a 100% tariff and "punish" those who buy Russian oil, thereby supporting the Russian "military machine." About 80% of purchases fall on China, India and Brazil.
Putin may survive the sanctions, he may not care about Russian soldiers. But China, India, and Brazil are about to face a choice between the American economy and helping Putin.
On July 14, Trump once again postponed increasing pressure on Russia, giving it 50 days to conclude a peace agreement. After this period expired, the US president threatened secondary sanctions on countries that buy products from the aggressor state.
