Trump and Secondary Tariffs on Russian Oil: Former President Donald Trump has made statements about secondary tariffs on Russian oil as a potential response to tensions involving Russia. Secondary sanctions typically target third-party countries or companies that do business with sanctioned entities. If Trump were to advocate for these tariffs, it would likely be part of a broader strategy to pressure Russia over its actions, such as its invasion of Ukraine. Secondary tariffs could create difficulties for countries or companies that continue trading with Russia despite Western sanctions.
