Lindsey Graham Threatens China With 500% Tariff If It Continues Buying 'Cheap Russian Oil' to 'Fuel Putin's War Machine'
- Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal introduced a bipartisan bill in 2025 to impose a 500% tariff on countries buying Russian oil or gas, threatening China specifically.
- The bill addresses ongoing worries about Russia's conflict with Ukraine by focusing on countries such as China and India, which together purchase a significant majority of Russia's oil and gas exports, with the goal of economically isolating Russia.
- Blumenthal and Graham recently met with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Kyiv after touring war-damaged areas, witnessing civilian suffering and destruction of entire neighborhoods.
- Blumenthal emphasized the importance of cutting Russia off from global economic networks and cautioned that maintaining imports of low-cost Russian oil would result in the imposition of steep tariffs.
- The legislation, supported by over 80 senators and European leaders, could pass Congress soon and aims to intensify sanctions to pressure Russia toward peace negotiations or deter further invasion.
