Trump Tariff: Following Russia's large-scale attack on Ukraine, US President Donald Trump has indicated the imposition of various economic sanctions and tariffs against Russia. Trump stated that these measures could remain in effect until a ceasefire (ceasefire) and a lasting peace agreement are reached between Russia and Ukraine.
Russia has intensified its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, escalating the conflict. In this situation, Trump is strategizing to increase global pressure on Russia by considering the possibility of imposing secondary sanctions.
Trump's Social Media Post
Donald Trump wrote on his social media platform 'Truth Social' that Russia is currently crushing Ukraine badly on the battlefield. He said, "I am considering massive banking sanctions, other sanctions, and tariffs. These sanctions could remain in place until there is a ceasefire and a final peace agreement."
Trump sent a message, clarifying that Russia and Ukraine should come to the table immediately, before it is too late. His statement has also increased the possibility of impacting global diplomacy and the economy.
Impact of Secondary Sanctions on Russia
The announcement of secondary sanctions by the US on Russia could become a cause for global concern. These sanctions would not only affect Russia but also countries that are buying oil and gas from Russia. India is also included among these.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that if further economic sanctions are imposed on Russia and countries buying energy from it, Moscow's economy could face a severe crisis. The objective of this move is to bring Putin to the negotiating table for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
Trump's Diplomatic Talks
Earlier, Trump had spoken directly with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. He spoke with Putin in Alaska and also tried to persuade Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Trump's objective was to ensure a ceasefire and a peace agreement by pressuring both countries.
However, Russia's attacks have continued even after these meetings. Trump has again warned that tough action will be taken against Russia, which includes secondary sanctions and tariffs.
