Trump Hints at New Tariffs Against China
President Trump suggests the possibility of imposing new tariffs on China similar to those applied to India over Russian oil purchases. This move is part of broader sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to halt its war in Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at the potential imposition of additional tariffs on China, akin to the 25% duties recently announced on India, which were instituted due to its ongoing purchases of Russian oil.
While speaking to reporters, Trump stated, "Could happen," without providing further detail. This aligns with his administration's aim of increasing pressure on Russia to end its military activities in Ukraine.
The latest tariffs on India reflect the U.S. commitment to curbing support for Russia's oil exports. Meanwhile, China remains a significant buyer of Russian oil. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had warned that China might face similar tariffs if it continues its current purchasing policy.
