In the US, it is said that all buyers of Russian oil can be under sanctions.
In the United States, Europeans were called to join the customs pressure on Russia / UNIAN collage, photos of ua.depositphotos.com, screenshotEuropeans should follow the example of the United States if the Presidential Administration Donald Trump imposes 100 percent duties on aggressor country-the Russian Federation and the countries that support it through the purchase of oil. This was stated by US Ministry of Finance Head Scott Bessent on Monday, July 21, NV writes.
“Any state that is under sanctions will be subject to secondary duties of up to 100%. I would urge our European partners to follow our example if we introduce these duties,” the CNBC said in an interview with CNBC.
According to him, there is a likelihood that the US will discuss with China buying Russian and Iranian oil. Bessent said that this would be a signal that the focus in the negotiations could shift on trade issues on national security issues. He added that US trade with China is in good condition.
“Now we can start discussing other things. Unfortunately, the Chinese are very big buyers of Iranian oil, which sanctions have been imposed, and the Russian oil on which sanctions have been imposed – so we could start discussing it,” said Bessent.
The latest news about the sanction pressure on Russia and its alliesIt should be reminded that on July 17, Donald Trump gave Russia 50 days to reach an agreement on peace or ceasefire in Ukraine. If this is not done, it has promised to introduce strict restrictive measures – Russia and its allies, which buy Russian Knight, will face high duties and secondary sanctions.
Last week, the EU entered 18 packages of sanctions against Russia. The key to the sanctions was attempts to limit the oil income of the Russian Federation. The sanctions have been imposed on the Tin Navy tankers that carry Russian Knight under the flags of other countries. The EU also limited the price of Russian oil, introducing a ceiling of $ 47.6 per barrel. For the first time, two Chinese banks that cooperate with the Russian Federation were included in the package.
The US also evaluates President Donald Trump’s intention to impose strict customs restrictions on the Russian Federation and its partners. According to the former US Secretary of State Rice, Trump actually put forward an ultimatum of Russia, which is a turning point in peaceful efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
