Trump threatens secondary tariffs on Russian oil if ceasefire with Ukraine fails, citing anger at Putin’s comments.

In Short

President Trump threatened to impose significant tariffs on Russian oil if a ceasefire in Ukraine isn’t reached, criticising Putin’s comments on Ukraine’s leadership.

He plans to speak with Putin about the situation, noting that sanctions could severely impact the global oil market and inflation.

President Donald Trump expressed anger towards Russian President Vladimir Putin and indicated he may impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil if a ceasefire in Ukraine is not achieved.

In a phone interview, Trump stated he was particularly upset with Putin’s remarks on Ukraine’s leadership situation, suggesting that a new leadership could hinder peace negotiations.

He said he would impose penalties on Russian oil if he believes Russia is responsible for the lack of agreement. Trump mentioned plans to speak with Putin to address these issues.

Oil sanctions

As one of the top three oil producers globally, any sanctions on Russian oil could significantly impact the oil market and increase inflation. Key buyers like India and China could face additional pressures from these sanctions.

Trump proposed a 25% to 50% tariff on oil purchases from Russia, stating, “If you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States.”

The US previously announced that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to a ceasefire as part of efforts to halt the conflict. However, Russia is demanding the removal of sanctions on its financial institutions before full compliance.

While Russian crude exports reached a high in March, analysts believe that Trump’s threats need to materialise into tangible action to significantly affect oil prices, as past reactions have shown that real disruptions influence market dynamics.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
