chairman Donald Trump Threatened to impose “secondary” on Monday Tariff on Russia “If the President is a business partner at “about 100%” Vladimir Putin Do not agree to a deal to end your attack Ukraine In 50 days.
Trump held a meeting with NATO general secretary, Mark Rutte, told the White House, “We are very, very unhappy, and we are going to do very serious tariffs, if you have no deal in 50 days, then about 100%tariff, they call them secondary tariffs,” Trump said to the white house meeting with NATO general secretary, Mark Root.
The President said that he was “disappointed” with Putin, as he felt that he would have a deal months ago.
If a ceasefire deal does not reach by September, Trump said, “We are going to do secondary tariffs.”
Trump also announced on Monday that the United States would send “billions of military equipment” purchased from American companies, paid by European countries and NAT allies would be given to be sent to Ukraine.
Trump’s declaration – the secondary tariff against Russia in collaboration with the threat – marks the change in the support of the President for Ukraine, and underlines his growing disappointment with the Russian leader.
Trump’s secondary tariff Russia will put levy on countries and institutions purchasing exports.
They can especially take heavy tolls on countries that rely on Russian fossil fuels as part of their energy plan, such as China, India, Brazil And the Turks.
This is not the first time that Trump has threatened to put “secondary tariff” on Russia on the ongoing war with Ukraine.
This is not even the first time that Trump has issued such a warning against an opponent.
Trump in March Said that countries that buy oil and gas Venezuela 25% will face levy, and in May they threatened to impose similar levy on imported countries Iranian Oil.
The “secondary tariff” on Venezuela has squeezed China especially as the biggest importer of Venezuela oil.
But Trump’s Monday’s comments extended their danger against Russia with a time frame in September.
in March, Trump said That, “If Russia and I am unable to make a deal on stopping bloodshed in Ukraine … and if I think it was Russia’s fault, then I am going to put a secondary tariff on oil, oil on all the oils coming out of Russia.”
It was not clear whether the products would affect Trump’s latest secondary tariff danger.
