US Senator Lindsey Graham has warned that President Donald Trump will impose steep tariffs on countries that continue to import oil from Russia, specifically naming India, China and Brazil. Graham made the remarks during a recent interview on Fox News.
“Trump is going to impose tariffs on people that buy Russian oil – China, India, and Brazil,” Graham said. These three countries account for around 80 per cent of Russia’s crude exports, which Graham argued is helping to fund the war in Ukraine.
He said Trump plans to impose a 100 per cent tariff on oil-related imports from those nations as a way to cut off financial support to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “President Trump’s going to put a 100 per cent tariff on all those countries, punishing them for helping Putin,” he added.
Addressing Putin directly, Graham said, “You have played President Trump at your own peril. You made a major league mistake, and your economy is going to continue to be crushed. We’re flowing weapons to Ukraine, so Ukraine will have the weapons to fight Putin back.”

Regards,
Hey Lindsey, I believe Trump can speak for himself. Quit trying to be President.
We have to primary this a-hole and get rid of him.
Well, that’s up to the good folks in South Carolina and I hope they understand.
These people need that oil. Unless you can provide an alternative...not sure this tariff is the right move.
Did anyone else notice how Lindsey scooped up Trump’s pen at Trump’s last bill signing ceremony? So pathetic.
Lindsey Graham is a bellicose man child.
open primary... its thhe dems that keep him winning the primary. And given Sc is a red state, they just vote down the line in the general.
Is Linda moonlighting as a 2-dimensional comic book villain?

People complain when "RINOs" don't support Trump.
Now you're complaining when they do.
How do you even know Trump didn't ask Graham for his support?
He is such a douche.
Graham is a fair-weather Senator and he doesnt mean a word he says.
John McCain’s protege.
freedom of choice is core American value.
make a better product to attract more customers is how we’ve always played.
using secondary tariffs to harm countries who ‘dare’ to purchase goods from a competing country (vendor) is anti-competitive
we literally have laws against such practices in the US.
Man, this paunchy war pig’s always shilling for the MIC and running off at the mouth. I wonder what Trump’s take is on the nasty little finook...
“Hey Lindsey, I believe Trump can speak for himself. Quit trying to be President.”
I remember when Linda ran for President. She was polling at 1% in her home
State of South Carolina. And dropped out before primary voting day so she would not be humiliated by Trump in her home state. She runs her mouth too much.
Lindsey's opponent was literally HRC in a black gay man's body. The whole S.C. election was rigged by the deep state.
As such, I doubt S.C. will have a fair election next year.
Amazing what a little power will do to some people.
Will his bluster work?
Not likely.Linda has the gravitas of a bed bug.
The sanctions will have to be imposed.
