🇺🇸🇷🇺 The Times: Trump considers global oil embargo against Russia

▪️The U.S. president is seriously weighing harsh secondary sanctions against countries trading Russian oil — including China, India, and Turkey. The proposal includes a 500% tariff on Russian imports, effectively amounting to a global oil embargo.

▪️According to The Times, this shift is driven by Trump’s frustration with Putin’s refusal to negotiate and continued strikes on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Trump had previously called the bill “too harsh,” but now says he is “studying it closely.”

▪️The main concern: economic fallout. The White House wants sanction control to remain with the president, while Congress is pushing for limited executive authority. Analysts warn that even a partial implementation of these measures could deal a severe blow to the Russian economy.
