🇺🇸 United States / 🇷🇺 Russia / 🇧🇷 Brazil:

President Trump has reportedly given the “green light” to a bill that would authorize the executive branch to impose sanctions of up to 500% on countries that purchase Russian oil, according to a statement released by Senator Lindsey Graham (R).

“This bill would give President Trump enormous leverage over countries like China, India, and Brazil, encouraging them to stop buying cheap Russian oil that finances Putin’s massacre against Ukraine,” Graham said.

In November 2024, Brazil imported approximately 834,000 cubic meters of diesel, with Russia as the main supplier. By November 2025, purchases of Russian diesel had fallen to around 219,000 cubic meters, indicating a 74% drop.
