US Tariff War: Donald Trump Blames Russian Oil Imports For India Action, Bessent Pushes EU Action<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
He said, “Europe is buying oil from Russia. I don\u2019t want them to buy oil — and the sanctions that they\u2019re putting on are not tough enough. I\u2019m willing to do sanctions, but they\u2019re going to have to toughen up their sanctions commensurate with what I\u2019m doing.”Trump argued that Moscow benefits financially from oil sales and its key buyers. He has repeatedly called out India, China, and now European countries for purchasing Russian oil — even imposing a 50 per cent tariff on India over what he called its \u201cmassive oil purchase\u201d from Russia.Recently, Trump urged Nato allies to sanction Beijing at rates of 50 to 100 per cent, accusing China of funding Russia and strengthening its military capacity in the Ukraine conflict. Beijing responded indirectly, with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi saying China is committed to \u201cpromoting peace talks to resolve hot-spot issues,\u201d and that \u201cwars cannot solve problems and sanctions would only complicate them.\u201dChina also clarified that \u201cit does not participate in or plan wars\u201d and emphasised dialogue, while calling for closer cooperation with Europe. Wang Yi made these remarks during his meeting with Slovenian counterpart Tanja Fajon.Notably, in this latest push, Trump left India out of his criticism, amid signs Washington and New Delhi are working on a separate agreement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
