NATO chief urges India, China, Brazil to cut ties with Russia amid threat of sanctions.

NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte has urged India, China, and Brazil to reconsider their economic ties with Russia, warning of potential secondary sanctions. This comes after US President Donald Trump announced increased military support for Ukraine and threatened 100% tariffs on Russia if peace talks aren't initiated within 50 days. Rutte encouraged these countries to pressure Russian President Putin to engage in peace talks to avoid economic repercussions. Former Indian diplomat KB Fabian criticized Rutte's warnings, stating he lacks the authority to impose sanctions. The US has not yet acted on the tariff threat.
