Trump has shifted his tone towards Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, giving Moscow a deadline to agree to a ceasefire. He proposed significant economic penalties if no agreement is reached. Trump also intends to increase U.S. weapon deliveries to Ukraine and support NATO allies supplying arms. The Sanctioning Russia Act 2025 would allow for steep tariffs on goods from countries trading with Russia and on Russian imports. Senator Blumenthal suggests Trump’s feelings of betrayal may influence his new stance amid persistent Russian attacks on civilians.
Trump's recent actions towards Russia mark a significant shift, leading him to impose a 50-day deadline on Moscow for a ceasefire or face economic penalties.
The Sanctioning Russia Act 2025 could impose 500% tariffs on goods from countries trading with Russia and on Russian goods entering the U.S.
Blumenthal suggests that Trump's increased pressure on Russia stems from a mix of personal betrayal and the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by Russian aggression.
Military aid to Ukraine is substantial, and pursuing the sanctions bill aims to provide a more robust response to Russia's ongoing attacks.
