{"content":"‘Russian economy will be in total collapse’: Trump official wants more tariffs on countries buying Russia oil; urges EU to add pressure.👇
"We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow us."
"We are in a race now between how long can the Ukrainian military hold up, versus how long can the Russian economy hold up?"
"And if the US and the EU can come in, do more sanctions, secondary tariffs on the countries that buy Russian oil, the Russian economy will be in total collapse, and that will bring President Putin to the table."
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also addressed the Trump administration's Supreme Court petition to reverse a circuit court ruling that opposed the president's extensive tariff measures.
"I am confident that we will win at the Supreme Court"
Meanwhile, Putin during Alaka summit said that their business with US grew despite war👇
“When the new administration came to power, the bilateral trade started to grow. It’s still very symbolic. Still, we have a growth of 20%”.
Interesting point is that even the EU and Ukraine is buying Russian oil indirectly.
Despite so many years of war, US, EU and Ukraine are themselves dealing with Russian goods directly and indirectly.
