Trump greenlights new bill to ‘punish’ Russia via allies; Could India face 500% tariff?

U.S. President Donald Trump has greenlighted a new bill aimed at punishing Russia and its trade partners, including India. The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 allows the President to impose severe penalties—like visa bans and tariffs up to 500%—on countries that violate peace agreements, support Russian actions, or subvert Ukraine. India is already facing tariffs for buying Russian oil, sparking concerns over its energy strategy and trade relations. Analysts say Reliance Industries’ reduced imports partly explain the decline. This video breaks down the bill, its four sanction triggers, and what it could mean for India, China, Brazil, and global geopolitics.
