Russian Senator: The Consequences of Sanctions on Countries Purchasing Russian Oil Will Be Felt in the United States
When talking about US President Trump's claim that he would impose secondary sanctions on countries purchasing Russian oil and gas, Russian Federation Council member Puschkov said in his comments that the consequences of the sanctions will be reflected in the United States itself.
Puschkov wrote on the Telegram channel: "The price of oil has already surged just because Trump claimed to impose secondary sanctions on countries purchasing Russian oil and gas. If he actually implements these sanctions, the price of oil will skyrocket further. Trump is indifferent to this, which is a big mistake. The consequences will certainly show up."
On July 28, Trump announced that due to the lack of progress in conflict mediation, he would shorten the previously set 50-day period for Ukraine and Russia to reach a ceasefire to 10-12 days. He stated that he plans to officially announce the new deadline within 24 hours. Trump also issued a threat that if the Ukraine agreement fails, he will impose secondary sanctions and increase tariffs on countries cooperating with Russia. These measures may include "100% tariffs," and this plan is still under consideration.
