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.

Trump urges Putin to cease attacks on Ukraine following deadly missile strike on Kyiv, killing 12 and injuring 90.

In Short

A missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed 12 and injured 90, prompting Trump to urge Putin for a peace deal amid escalating tensions.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but ongoing strikes and unacceptable Russian conditions raise concerns over future peace negotiations.

In a recent missile and drone attack on Kyiv, 12 individuals were killed and 90 injured, marking the most severe air assault this year.

U.S. President Trump responded by urging Russian President Putin to halt attacks and pursue a peace agreement. He expressed concern over the loss of life, highlighting that 5,000 soldiers perish weekly.

The attack involved over 200 missiles and drones and targeted critical Ukrainian industries. Trump’s frustration has increased as peace talks stagnate, with him also critiquing Ukrainian President Zelensky for dismissing a peace proposal that would legally recognise Russian control over Crimea.

Peace deadline

Despite Trump’s previous reluctance to criticise Putin, the attack shifted his stance. He has signaled a deadline for both Russia and Ukraine to reach a peace deal while the U.S. contemplates the extent of its involvement in negotiations.

Ukraine seeks an unconditional cease-fire, but Russia’s conditions remain unacceptable to Kyiv. A recent U.S. proposal would allow Russia to retain substantial territory and would limit Ukraine’s NATO aspirations.

Zelensky accused Russian forces of terrorism, attacking civilian areas and inciting widespread destruction, while Trump acknowledged the challenges of restoring Crimea to Ukraine.

The situation continues to escalate, with ongoing strikes on civilian infrastructure, drawing international attention and condemnation. As rescue workers clear debris from the latest attack, uncertainties remain about the future of peace talks and the safety of Ukrainian citizens.
