Trump ‘ready’ to sanction Russia if Nato nations stop buying its oil
US President Donald Trump said he was ready to impose harsh sanctions against Russia, but only NATO countries meet certain conditions involving stopping the purchase of Russian oil.
NATO Nations, “after starting to do the same and do the” Russia is ready to make major sanctions, “he said.
Trump has repeatedly threatened more challenging measures against Moscow, but when he ignored the Kremlin’s final delivery dates and sanctions threats, he has never been able to do any action.
He described Russian oil purchases as “shocking” and claimed that NATO gave China to 50% to 100% tariff and weaken the “strong control” on Russia.
Trump, in what he calls NATO Nations, “I’m ready to ‘go’ when you are. Just tell me when?”
“The purchase of Russian oil by some was shocking! It is greatly weakening your negotiation position and bargaining power on Russia”.
Trump also claimed that the stance in Russian energy purchases united with the “completely withdrawal” with the heavy tariffs in China after the war.
Europe’s trust in Russian energy has decreased significantly since the beginning of the full -scale occupation of Moscow Ukraine.
In 2022, the EU received approximately 45% of its gas from Russia. Although Trump shows that the figure feels that the figure is not enough, it is expected to fall to approximately 13% this year.
The US President’s message came during the increasing tensions between NATO allies and Russia. Düzine Russian plane entered the Poland airspace Wednesday.
Warsaw said that the attack was deliberate, but he despised the Moscow incident and that there was no “no targeting plan” in Poland.
Denmark, France and Germany joined a new NATO mission to support the eastern wing of the alliance and will move military beings to the east.
Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also demanded European countries for the purchase of Russian oil and gas.
In an interview with ABC News, he said: “We should stop [buying] All kinds of energy from Russia and in the meantime, any agreement with Russia. If we want to stop them, we can’t have any agreements. “
Since 2022, European countries have spent approximately € 210 billion (£ 182 billion) on Russian oil and gas, according to the thinking agency, the center of Energy and Clean Air Research to finance the occupation of Ukraine.
The EU had previously decided to gradually remove purchases until 2028. The US wants it to be faster – partly by buying materials from them.
Trump’s message was not NATO, not the EU, so nations like Turkey, a large buyer of Russian oil and a country that maintains closer relations with Moscow with any other member of the alliance.
It can be a much more difficult task to convince Ankara to cut Russian materials.
Trump’s last threat of sanction against Russia has arrived in early September after the Kremlin’s most severe bombardment in Ukraine since the war began.
When the journalists were asked whether they were ready to move to the “second stage of punishing Moscow, Trump replied,” Yes, I am, “but did not give any details.
The United States previously placed 50% tariffs from India to goods – which included 25% penalty for transactions with Russia, the key fund for the war in Ukraine.
