**Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Russia and Secondary Sanctions on Countries Buying Russian Oil ๐๐ฅ**
US President Donald Trump has issued a warning: if a resolution to the Ukraine conflict isnโt reached within 50 days, he will impose a 100% tariff on Russia and implement secondary sanctions on nations purchasing Russian energy.
๐ **Trumpโs Firm Position**
During a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on July 14, 2025, Trump announced plans to supply Ukraine with US weapons via NATO allies. He emphasized that if Russia refuses to cooperate, the US will impose โsevere tariffs,โ referring to secondary sanctions that could be โbiting and powerful.โ ๐ท๐บ๐
๐ **Imposing a 100% Tariff on Russia**
Trump warned that such tariffs would significantly impact Russia. He criticized President Vladimir Putin for not engaging in negotiations to end the war and expressed frustration over the lack of progress. โI thought weโd have had a deal two months ago,โ Trump stated. ๐๏ธ๐ฌ
๐ **Secondary Sanctions on Russian Energy Consumers**
White House officials confirmed that these sanctions would extend beyond Russia, targeting countries like India and China that purchase Russian fossil fuels. In May 2025, India was the second-largest importer of Russian energy, with โฌ4.2 billion worth of fossil fuels, 72% of which was crude oil. โฝ๐ฎ๐ณ
โ๏ธ **The Sanctioning Russia Bill 2025**
Currently progressing through the US Senate, the Sanctioning Russia Bill 2025 proposes a 500% tariff on countries buying Russian energy. As global tensions escalate, these measures could significantly alter the geopolitical landscape, further isolating Russia and increasing economic pressure. ๐โ๏ธ
Will these tariffs and sanctions pressure Russia into ending the conflict, or will they escalate international tensions? Only time will tell. โณ
