flag U.S. Republicans push tariffs on China for buying Russian oil, mirroring EU sanctions.

flag Republican Senator Lindsey Graham urged President Trump to impose sanctions and tariffs on China for purchasing Russian oil, following the EU’s 19th sanctions package targeting Chinese energy firms aiding Russia. flag Graham praised the EU’s move to ban Russian liquefied natural gas by 2027 and called for similar U.S. action, citing Trump’s directive for Europe to impose 50–100% tariffs on China. flag He said the U.S. 25% tariff on India for buying Russian energy should be extended to China and Russia. flag Meanwhile, Trump announced a deal with Xi Jinping allowing TikTok to remain in the U.S., though details are unclear. flag The EU aims to cut off Russia’s fossil fuel revenues, with von der Leyen declaring it time to “turn off the tap.” Trump has also urged NATO allies to halt Russian oil imports and consider high tariffs on China as leverage to end the war in Ukraine.
