The US is ready to change strategies and pressure the G7 countries to impose high tariffs on Russian oil purchased by China and India. The main goal is to push Russia towards peace negotiations with Ukraine. It seems that US authorities are serious about the decision to peacefully resolve the conflict situation in Eastern Europe.
Representatives of the G7 countries will discuss the American initiative and possible new measures on Friday. Donald Trump supports efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, proposing new economic measures that could significantly impact Putin's regime. The situation regarding increased tariffs on Chinese and Indian oil is just part of the ambitious US plans in this direction.
'Chinese-Indian purchases of Russian oil finance the Russian military machine and continue the suffering of the Ukrainian people,' said a representative of the US Department of Treasury, calling for a significant increase in tariffs.
The US measures are currently acting as part of a complex puzzle, where cooperation with European countries is an important link. The EU also plays a key role in moving forward in this context, hoping to exert pressure on Russia through other types of sanctions and restrictions.
