Kremlin faces fresh sanctions discussion from the American Finance Minister
In a recent turn of events, the latest update regarding potential new American sanctions against Russia has been announced by the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. The United States could escalate sanctions pressure on Russia if the upcoming Alaska meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump does not yield positive results.
The potential sanctions are contingent on the outcome of the talks between the two leaders. If negotiations fail, secondary duties, such as those already imposed on India for purchasing Russian oil, might be increased. Secretary Bessent emphasized that sanctions' scope and duration could vary—they may be tightened, relaxed, limited in duration, or continue indefinitely. He also called for European countries to join in secondary sanctions to enhance pressure on Moscow.
This announcement follows recent U.S. actions, including Trump's executive orders imposing 25% tariffs and secondary duties on imports from India due to its purchase of Russian oil. Further sanctions or tariffs on other countries, like China, which is also a major importer of Russian oil, may be forthcoming if negotiations fail.
Interestingly, today marked the deadline for Donald Trump's ultimatum regarding potential sanctions against Russia and its trading partners. However, during today's announcements, the deadline for sanctions was not mentioned due to a change in Trump's agenda, caused by the announcement of a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
