If implemented, the sanctions against supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes would dramatically escalate a widening feud between the United States and Brazil.

The United States has sanctioned the head of the Tren de Aragua gang and five key leaders and affiliates on Thursday.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not ready for compromises” to end his brutal war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told The Post in an exclusive interview on Wednesday — but President Trump has the power to bring him to his knees by speeding up tough sanctions that could cause a “social explosion” in Russia.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans will vote on a Russia sanctions bill once Trump approves it, as pressure mounts on Moscow to negotiate peace in Ukraine.

White House suggested that the so-called secondary tariffs mean 100 per cent tariffs on Russia and secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil.

India is not concerned with the proposed secondary sanctions on Russian oil and will meet its oil demands through alternative sources, Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday, according to a Reuters report.

Bipartisan senators Graham and Blumenthal lauded Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs against Moscow and vowed to continue working on their own "sledgehammer" sanctions package.

U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to choke off Russia’s oil revenue via secondary sanctions would deal a hammer blow to Moscow's finances, but markets are betting that the risk of higher energy prices will keep Washington from following through.
