The United States is considering imposing sanctions and import taxes on Russia's trade partners.

American Commerce Secretary Says Washington May Impose Sanctions and Import Tariffs on Russia's Trade Partners!

Lutnick said that Washington could impose import tariffs on supplies from Russia's trade partners or impose economic sanctions on them.

Previously, the President of the United States stated that if Moscow and Washington did not reach an agreement to resolve the Ukraine issue within 50 days, Washington intended to impose about a 100% import tax on Russia and its trade partners.

Reporters asked Lutnick to clarify whether the President intended to impose import taxes on these countries or implement "a second round of sanctions."

"You can do both, you can impose import tariffs and you can impose sanctions. These are tools in his arsenal, and these measures can be applied to anyone who does business with Russia."
