"US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he believed Moscow's war on Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia and and imposed tariffs of 50% to 100% on China for doing so. "I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA," he wrote in a post on his social media site Truth Social."
"He criticized the Western military alliance for demonstrating "far less than 100%" commitment to ending the war and also called it "shocking" that some NATO allies continue to purchase Russian petroleum, saying that it weakened their negotiating position. Turkey, which has the second-largest military in NATO, has continued to buy large quantities of oil from Russia despite Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Hungary and Slovakia, which are also part of the US-dominated alliance, are also importing Russian energy."
Donald Trump said he believed Moscow's war on Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying Russian oil and if tariffs of 50%–100% were imposed on China for doing so. He offered to impose major US sanctions on Russia only after all NATO members agreed and began halting purchases, posting the pledge on his Truth Social platform. He criticized NATO for showing "far less than 100%" commitment and called continued purchases by some allies "shocking," saying they weakened negotiating positions.
