US President Donald Trump said he’s prepared to move ahead with “major” sanctions on Russian oil if NATO countries do the same.
Trump, a day after he said he was losing patience with President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine, said he’s “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,” in a post on his Truth Social site early Saturday.
Many European nations have cut back or stopped purchasing Russian oil, but several NATO allies — including Hungary — have blocked more stringent proposals by the European Union to target Russia’s energy sector.
Bloomberg reported on Friday that the US planned to urge allies in the Group of Seven to impose tariffs as high as 100% on China and India for their purchases of Russian oil, as part of an effort to convince Putin to end Russia’s invasion of its neighbor.
