On Truth Social, Donald Trump stated that without a prompt resolution to the ongoing war, he would impose significant taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on Russian products. He claimed this would ultimately benefit Russia as its economy struggles. However, data indicates that U.S. imports from Russia have dramatically decreased over the years, suggesting that such measures may have less impact now. Trump also expressed intentions to meet with Putin to negotiate an end to the conflict but indicated that significant progress may take months, rather than the immediate resolution he previously promised.
I'm going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR.
A threat to tariff Russian exports, and sanction its companies, has much less practical impact now than it would have in past years.
