#Breaking News: Trump Considering Fresh Sanctions and Tariffs On Russia.
According to CBS, depending on how hard Trump wants to hit Russia, the sanctions on the table include on all Russian banks, while the most obvious and lighter are Tariffs, and oil sanctions However, these would unlikely bother President Putin in comparison to the mammoth losses in Military and intelligence aid to Ukraine.
Despite these threats, Russia has been able to bypass these sanctions by importing its goods through Kazakhstan, and selling billions of dollars of oil at discounted prices to China and India. It seems a more confused approach on resolving this crisis, because as we have all known, threats don’t work for Russia, and Putin is a strong customer.
So far, Vladimir Putin has played a clever hand, sitting back and doubtless enjoying watching the transatlantic alliance come apart at the seams.
Another option is sanctioning Chinese banks doing business with Russia, for supporting Russia through technology assistance in the battle field.
