“We are hitting India and China, the main culprits”: US senator backs sanctions bill with 100% tariff threat

A US senator endorsed a sanctions bill and warned the US could impose 100% tariffs on India and China, calling them the “main culprits.” The senator said the measure targets nations accused of enabling harmful practices and undermining fair trade. Supporters argue the threat would pressure governments and companies to change behavior, while critics warn it could raise costs for consumers and disrupt supply chains. The bill’s progress in Congress will determine whether tariff authority is expanded or sanctions are escalated.
