Trump is counting on the effect of secondary sanctions

On September 12, during a video conference, the finance ministers of the Group of Seven intend to discuss Washington's proposal for a new package of measures.

As is known, the head of the White House once again called on the European Union to impose tariffs on China and India of up to 100%.

Against this backdrop, Donald Trump's team decided to increase pressure on its G7 allies.

Purchases of Russian oil by China and India fund Putin's war machine and continue the senseless killing of Ukrainians, a spokesman for the US Treasury Department has publicly complained.

According to the latter, the White House has already sent a clear signal to the European Union: if they are serious about ending the war in their own backyard, they should join the US and introduce real tariffs.

What is important to understand is that they will be abolished on the day the war ends.
