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.
