Stop buying Russian oil, levy heavy tariffs on China, Trump tells NATO
Trump feels such measures would swiftly end the war in Ukraine.
President Donald Trump has called for fresh tariffs of up to 100 per cent on goods originating in China, while urging NATO members to stop purchasing Russian oil.
He feels China’s support was vital to Russia’s war effort and such measures would swiftly end the Ukraine war.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” he wrote on Truth Social.
In a post on Truth Social, which he described as “a letter to all Nato nations and the world,” Trump claimed that only decisive economic action could stop a ‘deadly, but ridiculous, war’.
He accused some members of the bloc of weakening the alliance by continuing to buy Russian oil. NATO had failed to fully commit to defeating Moscow, he insisted.
“I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all Nato Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all Nato Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA,” Trump wrote. “Anyway, I am ready to ‘go’ when you are. Just say when?”
His call for imposing punitive tariffs on China is because he feels China’s support was vital to Russia’s war effort.
“China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip,” he wrote, suggesting the tariffs would be lifted once the conflict ended.
“This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is [Joe] Biden’s and [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy’s WAR,” he said in his social media post.
“If Nato does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States,” he added.

Urban Outfitters has unveiled a new store concept and retail environment that reimagines its in-store experience with a brighter, more modern, and flexible approach.
Following its debut in Houston, Texas, and a subsequent opening in Glendale, California, the refreshed format reflects the brand’s customer-first philosophy through curated assortments, localized design, and a strong focus on Gen-Z’s favorite styles and brands.
Urban Outfitters plans to open three of its redesigned stores by the end of 2025, with seven additional locations set to follow across the United States in 2026. Each store is tailored to its market, incorporating community nuances and shopping behaviors.
“Our goal is to be the go-to brand and destination for the categories and brands that define our customer’s style, and a source of inspiration through our creativity,” said Shea Jensen, president of Urban Outfitters.
“This new format gives us the freedom to shape our stores around our customers, their lifestyle, and the moments that matter most to them.”
The rollout also reflects Urban Outfitters’ evolving retail strategy, which blends street-level locations like Houston with key mall destinations such as Glendale, noting that 72% of Gen Z consumers still shop in malls.
Each store’s layout and assortment are guided by customer data and local preferences. In Houston, the merchandise mix emphasizes dresses, denim, and accessories that tap into Gen Z’s love of personalization, including handbags, scarves, charms, and bangles. In Glendale, a refreshed men’s strategy takes center stage, expanding into a more complete wardrobe of graphic tees, hoodies, pants, and signature brands, paired with improved wayfinding and in-store navigation.
“Our approach to men’s is about delivering a complete, modern wardrobe that balances trend essentials with the best of brands,” added Bijon Javadzadeh, general manager of merchandising at Urban Outfitters. “We’re evolving with our customer to offer pieces inspired by the culture, communities and moments shaping their style.”
The new store format also introduces elevated beauty sections, expanded footprints for best-selling in-house labels such as BDG Denim, Out From Under, and Standard Cloth, as well as modular fixtures that allow rapid adaptation to seasonal shifts and emerging trends. Fitting rooms have been redesigned with brighter lighting and more space, while warm materials, rich textures, and immersive visual displays enhance the overall shopping experience.
