#TRUMP threatens 100% tariff on Russia, secondary sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil๐๐ฅ
US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Russia and secondary sanctions on countries purchasing Russian energy, unless a deal to end the Ukraine war is reached within 50 days.
๐ Trump's Strong Stance
In a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on July 14, 2025, Trump announced plans to send US weapons to Ukraine through NATO nations. He made it clear that if Russia doesnโt cooperate, America would unleash โsevere tariffs,โ calling them secondary sanctions that could be โbiting and powerful.โ ๐ท๐บ๐
๐ 100% Tariff on Russia
Trump warned that the 100% tariffs would hurt Russia significantly. He criticized President Putin for not negotiating a resolution to the war and expressed disappointment at the lack of progress. โI thought we would have had a deal two months ago,โ Trump said. ๐๏ธ๐ฌ
๐ Secondary Sanctions on Energy Buyers
White House officials confirmed that the new sanctions would not only target Russia but also countries like India and China, which purchase Russian fossil fuels. In May 2025, India was the second-largest buyer of Russian energy, with fossil fuels worth โฌ4.2 billion, 72% of which was crude oil. โฝ๐ฎ๐ณ
โ๏ธ The Sanctioning Russia Bill 2025
The Sanctioning Russia Bill 2025 making its way through the US Senate proposes 500% tariffs on countries buying Russian energy. As global tensions rise, these proposed measures could reshape the geopolitical landscape, further isolating Russia while tightening economic pressure. ๐โ๏ธ
Will these tariffs and sanctions convince Russia to end the conflict, or will they lead to more international strain? Time will tell. โณ
