July 29 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia „10 days from today“ if Moscow showed no progress toward ending its more than three-year-long war in Ukraine.
Trump first announced on Monday that he was shortening the initial 50-day deadline he set a month ago for action from Moscow, and mentioned a new deadline of 10 to 12 days. On Tuesday, he told reporters he had not heard a response from Russia.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said he was not worried about the potential impact of Russian sanctions on the oil market or prices, vowing to boost domestic oil production to offset any impact.
„I don’t know if it’s going to affect Russia, because (Russian President Vladimir Putin) wants to, obviously, probably keep the war going,“ Trump said. „But we’re going to put on tariffs and the various things that you put on.“
The fresh deadline suggests Trump is prepared to move forward on his threat of sanctions, after previously hesitating on doing so. Speaking in Scotland on Monday, he threatened sanctions on both Russia and buyers of its exports – also known as secondary sanctions – unless progress is made.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters that he raised the issue of secondary sanctions with Chinese officials during two days of bilateral talks this week.
He said he told Chinese officials that Beijing could face high tariffs if it continued its Russian oil purchases.

Tariffs on the allies of the US, no tariffs yet on Russia. Makes sense.

What tariffs? Russia is not trading with the west as much as they used to and Russian assets have been seized. Trump is pussy footing around again. Putin loves Trump.

Just tariffs? Russia exports almost nothing to the usa. Howabout something that will work? Like a shit ton of weapons for Ukraine and sanctions on China for being the enabler
