Lindsey Graham Threatens China With 500% Tariff If It Continues Buying 'Cheap Russian Oil' to 'Fuel Putin's War Machine'
- U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal jointly introduced a bill in 2025 in Washington D.C. To impose a 500% tariff on countries buying Russian oil or gas.
- The bill was inspired by their recent visit to Ukraine and aims to impose heavy tariffs on nations, including China and India, that purchase the majority of Russia’s oil and gas, which supports its ongoing military operations.
- Blumenthal and Graham met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, toured devastated areas, and emphasized bipartisan and international support for escalating sanctions if Russia rejects peace talks or renews aggression.
- Blumenthal emphasized the need to isolate Russia economically by targeting key buyers of its oil and gas, such as China and India, while Graham warned that the United States is preparing to take strong action against China’s involvement with Russia, signaling significant upcoming sanctions.
- The legislation, supported by over 80 senators and requiring presidential approval, aims to isolate Russia economically and deter continued support from buying its energy, with a vote expected soon.
