Ukraine: Trump threatens to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil

Published on March 30, 2025 at 03:36 PM

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose secondary tariffs of 25% to 50% on all Russian oil if he feels Moscow is blocking his efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump said the tariffs could start within a month if there is no ceasefire.

The US President told NBC News he was angry and “pissed off” when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiyy's leadership.

Trump also disclosed that he planned to speak with Putin this week.

DAILY POST recalls that Trump had promised repeatedly to end what he calls a “ridiculous” war in Ukraine.

He has focused heavily on the issue since taking office on January 20, holding negotiations in Saudi Arabia recently with a Russian team.

Meanwhile, Putin has suggested that Ukraine could be placed under a form of temporary administration to allow for new elections and the signature of key accords.

The development if implemented could effectively push out Zelenskyy from power as the Ukrainian president.

However, responding to the development, Trump said: “If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault. I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia”;.

“That would be, that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States,”; Trump said. “There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25-to 50-pointtariff on all oil.”;

Trump stated that the tariffs on Russian oil would come within a month without a ceasefire deal.

According to Trump, Putin knows he is angry with him, but said he had “a very good relationship with him”; and “the anger dissipates quickly if he does the right thing.”;
