According to the information from 'Wave', the USA is urging G7 member countries to start confiscating Russian reserves to pressure Putin into stopping the war in Ukraine. In particular, the Americans propose imposing tariffs of up to 100% on Chinese and Indian purchases of Russian oil to reduce funding sources for Russian troops.
The US President prepares new sanctions for Russia
During an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump threatened new economic sanctions against Russia and called for other countries to unite in the Group of Seven to confiscate frozen Russian assets. Most of these assets are located in Europe, and funds could be allocated for Ukraine's defense if such a decision is made.
- Canada, which chairs the G7, has already taken the initiative to convene a meeting of finance ministers to discuss new actions against Russia and its military activities.
- Sanctions against Russian organizations and banks are planned, as well as trade restrictions to weaken Russia's influence in the world.
The US government is actively working on new economic measures against Russia, hoping for support from allies in the G7 to take joint action to stop Russian aggression and support Ukraine. Sanctions and confiscation of Russian reserves may become another step in the strained relations between the West and the Kremlin.
